The total page count is expressed in XSL-FO as a fo:page-number-citation =

object (https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_page-number-citation). This =

XSL-FO object is translated by XFC to a DOCX field.

That's right.

Sorry but there is technically no way for us to implement this feature.

(In our knowledge, the only way to do that would be to add an AutoOpen =

macro to the files we generate but this poses usability issues.)
