I am running Word 2002. I have a document that is 9 page long. I want to
number the first pages as "Page 1 of #" etc. and the last page to have no
page number. Is this possible?

In the header/footer, use this field:

{ IF { PAGE } < { NUMPAGES } "Page { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES }" }

Note that the outside pair of field delimiters (the things that look like
braces but can't be entered from the keyboard) must be inserted using
Ctrl+F9. The other fields can be inserted using the Insert Page Number and
Insert Number of Pages buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar.
