Page n of m

[silverback]

I'm using Office 365 and trying to insert Page n of m in a footer. I've only managed to insert the actual page number.
Help is not helpful!
Can anyone advise on how to achieve this, please?
Thanks

Click where you want the total number of pages (m).
Press Ctrl+F9 to insert field brackets { } (do not type them yourself, that wont work).
Type NUMPAGES between the brackets so that you see { NUMPAGES }
Press F9 to hide the field code and to update the result.

This didn't work. It inserted the page number OK but not 'page n of m'.
I've fixed it by going to Insert | Page Number |Bottom of Page | Page X of Y and then choosing position (left, middle, right).

The NUMPAGES field shows the total number of pages in the document, not the number of the current page...

In Word, page numbers are fields.
This structure is generally spoken/written of as page x of y.
The fields are PAGE for x, and NUMPAGES for y.
