Hi, Gillian:
In addition to Clint's note, you can find more detail by searching FM

Gillian,
As you can see, <$lastpagenum> only picks up the value from the chapter
where it resides. You can get it to work as you want by using a cross
reference. Put <$lastpagenum> in a paragraph by itself somewhere in the
second chapter (I put it on an un-used master page), then create a cross
reference marker called "Total Pg Count" or something. Now go to your first
chapter and invoke the cross reference from the other chapter instead of the
variable. It is not as elegant, but it works. Make sure that you update your
cross references.
