I must be missing something really basic about writing formulas in Word. I can get a simple numerical calculation to work, i.e =(5-2), but when I try to subtract from the NUMPAGES, then I get syntax error. I've been entering in the "insert" formula" and also toggling field within the document. No luck though.

She wants the pages numbered beginning with 1, but that is actually the second page of the document. (The title page isn't counted in the page count.) She got the page numbering to start correctly for her first page, but her footer now says "Page 1 of 80," "Page 2 of 80," etc. It should only show 79 pages, again because of the http://wordribbon.tips.net/T005882_Getting_a_Proper_Total_Page_Count.html title page. Melissa wonders how she can get the total page count, as shown in the footer, to be correct. The type of page numbers that Melissa is working with are generally called "X of Y" page numbers. The X represents the current page numbers, while Y represents the total. You generally construct this type of page number in one of two ways. First, you can create your own page numbers in this way by using field codes. Assuming you already know how to add field codes to your document, the finished code would look something like this: Page { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES } Once collapsed, the first field code displays the current page number and the second displays the total number of pages in the document. This brings us to the second way to insert the "X of Y" page numbers—using the pre-defined page number formats in Word. You insert these by using the Page Number tool, which can appear on various ribbon tabs. (Most notably it appears on the Insert tab of the ribbon, in the Header & Footer group, and if you are working within a header or footer, on the Design tab of the ribbon, in the Header & Footer group.) The choices presented by the Page Number tool include a Page X of Y group that provides different ways to insert the formatted page number. When you make one of these choices, the result is a field s

I've read many solutions for this online and in MS's help files. None of them are working, and it really has me perplexed because I consider myself an advanced user. My document is a book: The first page of my book is a cover page. It shouldn't syntax error be counted in page numbering. Beginning on the second page, my book has a TOC and then 9 chapters. The TOC and each chapter are set up in their own sections. (I do this because I include the chapter's name - which is the section name - in the footer along with page numbers. It also facilitates creating the TOC) I want the TOC to be counted as Page 1 All of that works fine for numpages minus 1 the {PAGE} page number. To accomplish it, I told Word to start counting page numbers from 0, and I suppressed displaying the number on the Cover. Then for subsequent pages I selected "Continue from previous section." My issue is that I really want to show both the current page and the total number of pages ("Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}") in the footer. When I try that, {PAGE} displays correctly, but {NUMPAGES} shows one too many. It is obviously counting the cover page. Evidently what I did in #5 above only affects the count for {PAGE} and not for {NUMPAGES}. All over the web I find the simple solution of using a formula field for {NUMPAGES} as follows: =1+{NUMPAGES} Actually, I think that would do the opposite of what I want. I would probably have to subtract a page rater than add one, but the formula doesn't work anyway. I've found all sorts of variants of that and have tried numerous ones. I have also tried many things on my own. Each time I try something, Word either displays a Syntax Error or else nothing at all where the Number of Pages should appear. I've shared a document on SendSpace that shows screenshots along the way. The document itself is a Word 2007 document. Here's a link: http://bit.ly/gwbCh2 I should add that I wondered
