I'm trying to recreate an MS Word document in ConTeXt. The reason for this
is so the final document won't stand out from the others too much, and also
so that I can have better control over the layout.

One thing I'm having difficulty with is the footer, which consists of a
rule, followed by

"Name of document on the left << space >> Page n of m"

where "n" is the current page number, and "m" is the total number of pages
and is on the right. Is there an automatic way of obtaining "m",

\setupfootertexts[Page \currentpage\ of \lastpage]

and what's the best way of preceding this footer by a rule?

\setupbackgrounds[footer][text][topframe=on]
