RE: Oh dear, ...Page Count

[Jim Light <Jim.Light@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have FrameMaker 7.1 and the very first variable on the list is Page Count.
But I suppose that just means you have an older version.
Sorry.

Frustrating.

Allen,

Look up the on-line help article, "Including the total page count of a 
book in a header or footer" and modify the instructions to suit your 
purpose (i.e., in the last steps, put the x-ref on your body page rather 
than in headers/footers). Alternatively, simply cross-reference to any 
paragraph on the last page of your book, including only the page number 
in the x-ref format.

HTH,
