I have a 3 page document. each page has a page break i need the first 2 pages
to have in the footer, "page 1 of 2" and the third page needs to have "page i
of i". i have tried so many different things and came close but still no
success.

i can get it to work if i can add a page break with out adding an extra page.

So solving either will help me

ps. "Page 1 of 2" for the first page and "page 2 of 2" for the second page
and "page i of i" for the third. And just typing it in is not an option?????
Thanks

Insert a Next Page Section break between pages 2 and 3, (in place of the
hard page break) and set up the footer in the first section with the
following field codes

{ PAGE } of { SECTIONPAGES }

In the Second Section, unlink the footer from that in the first Section,
then from the Page Number pulldown in the Header & Footer section of the
Header & Footer Tools Design tab of the ribbon, select Format Page Numbers
and change the format of the page number to i and set it to Start at i. The
get the "of i", add the following formatting switch to the { SECTIONPAGES }
field

{ SECTIONPAGES \# i }

Use Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes
