Page x of y function in InDesign

(IND CS 6 / Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit)

Is there a way to automatically insert the total number of pages like the current page number insert. I have "Page A of  X" set up on the master and will manually insert the correct number when the document is done, But I'm thinking with all the cool and groovy things INDD does, there has gotta be a way. Am I wrong?

Thanks,

Joe

You can by inserting a text variable called "Last Page Number". You define a text variable by choosing Type > Text Variables > Define. You might want to read about it in InDesign Help.
