HTML to MS Word doc with total number of pages
Question
I am trying to create a Word document using HTML.
Thanks to a number of examples I have been able to acheive this. However, I can't seem to place the total number of pages in text at the top of the first page in the document.
I am trying to add, "This document contains "PAGENUM" of pages in the first line of text, but when the document is created, the "PAGENUM" is blank (other than in the footer that I also would like to keep).
Is what I'm trying to achieve even possible or am I just getting it completely wrong?
My code (Thanks to another user Vahid) is as follows,
<html
xmlns:o='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office' xmlns:w='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word'
xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40'>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title></title>
<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

If you try to do it in Word and clean a bit the code it generates, you get something like this:
...
<div class="Section1">
This document contains
<!--[if supportFields]>
<span>
<span style='mso-element:field-begin'></span>
<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>
NUMPAGES
<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>
\* MERGEFORMAT <span style='mso-element:field-separator'></span>
</span>
<![endif]-->
<span style='mso-no-proof:yes'>X</span>
<!--[if supportFields]>
<span>
<span style='mso-element:field-end'></span>
</span>
<![endif]--> pages.

...
Please note that when you open the Word document, you have to "Update field" to see the correct number of pages. Otherwise it will display the "mso-no-proof" value (here "X").
