In Pub 2003, how can I set Page x of y in the footer?

[Gem]

I need to have Page x of y in the footer of documents that I am working on.

Anyone have a solution?

When you number the pages, add manually the word page and the y amount. It would look
similar to this:
Page # of 20 pages

This function in on the Master Page.

I was hoping for a way to do it automatically like you can in Word. Just one
more thing I don't want my people to have to remember to change when they are
amending the document.

Anyone else???

You only have to input Page # of Y pages once. The # represents the page number. If
your document exceeds the original number then of course you will have to change that
entry. For long text documents you probably will be better served using Word.
Publisher is a page layout application, you cannot expect it to function in the same
way as Word.
