In the 4.20 release notes is the following line under "NWP Improvements"

\Epage_number - is replaced with the page number

Is there a way in NWP to know the TOTAL number of pages (X) so that you can print "Page 1 of X" in your page footers or headers? Or is the only way to accomplish this to make a dummy run through the report first to get this value? (and then go back to print the report, including the total # of pages)

A lot of this depends on whether or not you can track what the current page number is. NWP offers a very simplified mechanism for printing page numbers.

To do anything sophisticated you'll have to track the page numbers yourself.
