figuring page x of y

Hi
Honestly - I seldom use Word, so this might be a overly basic question...So
don't laugh !
A document was faxed to me for editing (this doc not available to us
electronically)

The pages were numbered 1 of 125 to 125 of 125. However, corrections weren't
required on all the pages.
How do I use the x of y pages in the footer, but with numbers of my
choosing, e.g.;
2 of 125, then 8 of 125, 15 of 125, etc. I want to email the finished
product back, without blank pages.
Thanks

I assume that what you have done is re-typed the pages that needed the
corrections. If that is the case, your best bet would be to just type in the
page number for each such page.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do.....However, when I type in, let's say 5 of
125, the next page automatically becomes 6 of 125, if I correct that page to
85 of 125, it reformats again.
Are you saying I can't do this in a footer?
If I type the page numbers manually at the bottem of each page, above the
footer area, it won't match the rest of the document.
Any other advice? Am I formating the footer incorrectly?

You cannot do it in a footer simply by using the { page } fields alone.

For just a few pages, you best bet would be to dispense with the use of
footers and just type the footer information into the body of the document
at the foot of the page.

Actually, that is incorrect.
Look at the reposting of my question on 11/8/04 under the subject footer
pages.
I was able to work out the issue from there.
