Well,
This will require some new paragraph tags to be set up, but it can work. Let me
understand one thing first - do you want page # of total pages in the book, or
page # of page (based on page count in the file)? I think you want the first
one, so:
For the first scenario (page # of total page count in the book)
1.) Go the absolute last page in the document. Open the master page for this
document. Click in an appropriate place in the header (it must be a blank area)
and add the variable Page Count. (Special Variable Page Count).
2.) Now, select this variable in the header, press Control/M to bring up the
paragraph designer, and keep everything the same about this variable as the
rest of the font in the header, with the following exception - change the color
to white (so it doesn't show) and make this a new paragraph tag and call it
something like TotalPageCount.
3.)Then, for every header on every master page in every file, add this
information: Page # of x-ref to total page count, where
Page is free text that you manually enter
# is the variable Current Page # (Special Variable Current Page #
of is free text that you manually enter
x-ref to total page count is a cross-reference that you have created called
something like TotalPageCount, it's format is $paratextDefault ΒΆ Font, and
it x-refs the TotalPageCount paragraph tag that you set up on the last page of
the last file in the book.
You can then apply either a character tag or a paragraph tag to set this output
from the cross-reference to the numbering format that you want.
Let me know if this makes any sense at all.

Subject: Multiple types of page numbering?
Does anyone know how I can solve the following problem?
Document needs to have the typical page number with small romans for the TOC,
TOF, etc and Arabic numbering for the other chapters in the book. (That's no
problem)
HOWEVER, the problem come in when our contract requires us to have the
following in the header:
Pages: xxx (# of xxx)
I got the header set up, but for the # it pulls from the number of the page in
the document numbering format.
Help???
I'm sure there's a way to do what I want in FM, but I just haven't figured it
out.
