Hi Dennis:
While in the header, if you start to type page x of y, you can press F3, the tab key, or enter & the field will be entered for you, provided you have Tools/Autocorrect…/Autotext tab/ & check the box that says “Show AutoComplete tip for AutoText & Dates”. Note: I have Word 2000, so the tabs or language may be slightly different for you.

You can also enter the fields directly by pressing Ctrl+F9 to enter field braces & typing Page. The go outside the field to type “of”. Press Ctrl+F9 to enter field braces again & type Numpages.
Cheers,
