There may be times in your macros when you need to determine the number of pages in a document. The following code will tell you the number of pages in a document:
TtlPgs = Selection.Information(wdNumberOfPagesInDocument)
After executing this code, the value of TtlPgs represents the total number of physical pages in the document.

The same outcome can be seen when you open the document and look at the bottom right of your screen which show the total number of pages. Simple and straight foward with no need to write any code. Are we complicating the process here?
Got a version of Word that uses the ribbon interface (Word 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the menu interface.
