I have documents with “Page A of #” on the Parent page. If I add a page to the document, I currently need to manually change the Parent Page. Is there a way to automatically update the number of pages - the “of #” - when a new page is added to the document?

If it is a single document, you can use the last page variable. If in a book file (multiple documents), you can create a unique paragraph style on the last page and create a cross reference to it.

Yes, that did it. My files are single documents.

Type > Text Variable > Define, then click “New” and enter/select appropriate data. I had never gone into that option before. Thank you!!
