Composite auto page numbers in Pages'09 ?

Using iWork'09 Pages.

For a document, I want auto page numbers to be of the form:

Page number / Total number of pages. (So page 31 gets "31/80" in an
eighty page document.)

In LaTeX, this is possible with the lastpage package. I was wondering
if Pages can do something similar.

The reason is that this document is being sent out for paper based
review, and I do not want some reviewers to accidentally lose some
pages, and not know it (the document structure is such that an
incomplete document might not be noticeable).

Yes, very easily. At least in Pages 08 it is.

Use the 'Insert' menu, and add Page Number and Page Count as required,
along with any other text.

You can add them into a footer or header, turn these on in the Page
Layout tab in the Inspection dialogue. You might need to get the
settings right if you need left/right headings and title pages etc.

In the 'Window' menu, turn on Show Layout to see the header/footer
sections.
