I would like to have in the header the pagenumber and the total number

put in the preamble:


\usepackage{lastpage}

\fancyhf{}

\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage\ of \pageref{lastpage}}


The result I get is: 2 of ?? (on page 2 for instance).

I don't get any error messages but it seems that it is unknown how many 
pages the document has. How can I solve this?


Hi,

I'm not an expert, but looking at the fancy header manual (e.g. section 
16 on page 15, you should use

\pageref{LastPage}
instead of
\pageref{lastpage}

For me, this small change is sufficient to have a correct last page number.

Also, you do have warnings that could have pointed you to this:
In Documents->LaTeX Log you can access the log, in which you can see 
several warnings (in blue) from latex saying:
"LaTeX Warning: Reference `lastpage' on page 1 undefined on input line 
37." (the page number and line number can be different for you)


Best regards,

Olivier
