It's exactly the same when using XFC, but with a twist. XFC has no way 
to determine the page numbers. Only MS-Word can do this.

<fo:page-number/> and <fo:page-number-citation/> are translated by XFC 
to DOCX fields (having an initial value of "0") and the values of these 
fields must be updated by MS-Word itself after opening the generated 
DOCX file in the word processor.

I use the page-number-citation object to print the number of pages in my 
document, but the displayed value is always 0 when I load the document 
in MS-Word. How can I get the correct value?

I'm sorry but I don't have enough information to answer this question. I 
can simply say that you may not use "Desktop License" for that.

More info in "Which license to choose?",

"Just the Jar file" xfc.jar *IS* the product. Everything else (XSL 
Utility, XSL Server) is given away when you purchase xfc.jar.
