I am trying to use a layer to insert a page number in my document, but the page always displays page number 1. It seems nothing that I have tried has worked. I also don't know how to exclude the first page from the total number of pages count. Here is the code I'm trying to use. \setupoutput[dvipsone] \starttext \definelayer[pagenumber] \setuplayer [pagenumber] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, state=repeat] \setlayer[pagenumber][preset=lefttop,x=4in,y=5.5in]% {\framed[width=1.25in,align=middle,offset=none]{\tfx Page \getnumber[page]~of~\totalnumberofpages}} \setupbackgrounds [page] [background={pagenumber},state=start] test \page test \page test \stoptext Thanks, Mike

You can find a solution from Aditya under the following link: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070714.145156.91a20ef2.en.html I wrote also for myself a short test file for myself a while ago. \definelayer[head] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \definelayer[nexthead][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \startsetups layer \doif {\pagenumber}{1}{\setlayer[head] [offset=2cm]{First page}} \doifnot{\pagenumber}{1}{\setlayer[nexthead][offset=2cm]{Page \pagenumber}} \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background={head,nexthead}] \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\page[empty]} \stoptext Wolfgang
Great that fixed it. Sorry about the subject by the way. I thought
it would auto add the mailing list prefix.
I still can't get the total number of pages to work out right if I
have a title page. I used standardmakeup to keep the title page from
being numbered, but it is still counted in \totalnumberofpages.
\definelayer[headerfooter][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\startsetups layer
\setlayer[headerfooter][preset=lefttop,x=4in,y=1in]%
{\framed[frame=off,width=1.25in,align=middle,offset=none]{\tfd Page~
\pagenumber~of~\totalnumberofpages}}
\stopsetups
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
\tfd THIS IS A TITLE PAGE
\page
\stopstandardmakeup
\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background={headerfooter}]
\dorecurse{2}{\page[empty]}
\stoptext

Use \lastpagenumber. Wolfgang
Ah ha. That works perfectly. Thank you.
