First, you can create your own page numbers in this way by using field codes. You generally construct this type of page number in one of two ways. The X represents the current page numbers, while Y represents the total. The type of page numbers that Melissa is working with are generally called "X of Y" page numbers. Melissa wonders how she can get the total page count, as shown in the footer, to be correct. It should only show 79 pages, again because of the title page. (The title page isn't counted in the page count.) She got the page numbering to start correctly for her first page, but her footer now says, " of 80," " of 80," etc. She wants the pages numbered beginning with 1, but that is actually the second page of the document. Melissa has a document that begins with a title page.
