Anyone know how to automatically add the total number of pages in a document to the page number feature.

For example, if I have a 20 page document. I want the page numbering to go: Page 1 of 20, Page 2 of 20, Page 3 of 20....etc.

The actual page number is no problem, but I cannot find anyway of adding the total automatically.
 
hi,

no I can't see a way of automatically doing it, however you could just wait until you have finished the layout and you know how many pages there are in total, then go to the master page and change it to <auto page number> of 44, and it will automatically update all your pages.
 
I thought as much. Shame really. MS Word can do it......come on Adobe!
