Document is 23 pages. 1st is a cover page, 2nd and 3rd are TOC's. These
pages were not created using a Word template. Footer begins on page four,
however, it reads Page 1 of 23. I need it to read Page 1 of 20. How do I
format this and still have everything in one document?

Hi Nic,

It looks like you're using Section breaks to start the numbering on page 4, so select the '23', press Shift-F9 to reveal the field
code and change 'NUMPAGES' to 'SECTIONPAGES', then press F9 to update the field. Providing your document has only the two Sections,
the page count should now be correct. If it isn't, post back.
