Thanks for the speedy reply Graham. It was so much easier in 2003!

It can be easier in Word 2007, too. There is a Page X of Y Building Block in
the Page Number gallery (Insert | Header & Footer | Page Number or Header &
Footer Tools | Design | Header & Footer | Page Number). Note that the BB is
described as "Bold Numbers," and in fact the numbers will be bold if you
insert the BB as a header or footer (using the Top of Page or Bottom of Page
item), but if you insert it using Current Position, the numbers will not be
bold (which I'd guess would be most users' preference).

You could do it this way in any version, and you will find it quicker once
you get the hang of CTRL+F9

But in previous versions, even if you didn't use the built-in Page X of Y
AutoText entry, you also had Insert Page Number and Insert Number of Pages
buttons on the H&F toolbar.
