Is there any way to figure out what the X should be in "Page 1 of X" ?
I'm using MS Word 4.0 and want to have a page count in the footer, but
I don't want to have to type in the number of pages in the Page 1 of X 
part of the footer. Can I have Word automatically supply the total num
of pages? Many other word processors have this functionality, so there
should be a way to get it in Word.

The manual offers no hints as to how to get this.

Thanks.
