How do I ad automatic page numbering to a merged document

Add it in the normal way to the mailmerge main document, but if you are
wanting Page x of y, replace the { NUMPAGES } field with a { SECTIONPAGES }
field.

Hope this helps.

Thank You, but what I wanted is to ad a field to automatically generate page
numbers during the merge process, not After. I found out that I can do that
with field <<insert merge seq#>>.

Thank you for your response

The fields that I suggested should be put in the mailmerge main document,
that is before the merge is executed.
