I have a form letter with a 2nd page. In the header of the second page the Insert Autotext - Page X of Y. When I perform the merge the Page X of Y appears with the total number of records (ei. Page 1 of 28). Is it possible to have the page numbering feature in a form letter?

Each letter in the merge is formatted as a separate section.
If you toggle the field display of the page X of Y (ALT+F9), you will see
that it is made up of
Page {Page} of {Numpages}
change this to
Page (Page} of {SectionPages}
Press ALT+F9 to toggle the display back again and F9 to update.
