Look at the end of my last post. That is the standard way.
Here is a post from a couple of days ago on the same subject.

Mark the numpages field in doc1 with a bookmark "TotPages"
Instead of a NumPages field use something along the lines of:
{ = { NumPages } + { INCLUDETEXT "doc1.doc" TotPages } }
You could do something similar with the X part as well so that you do not
have to manually adjust the start of page numbering.
BTW, Word will work with quite large documents. I have one with more than
5000 pages including a Table of Contents that references every page at least
once.
