"y" of "Page x of y" is incorrect

Hello again. The original problem is solved. I inherited this document, and probably a couple of people had worked on it before, using slightly different techniques that probably confused Word. I went through it rigorously, straightening out inconsistencies of various sorts, and the problem was solved somewhere along the way.

Now I have a different problem. The total document is 47 pages long; the front matter is 6 pages long. I use roman numerals for the TOC and Preface; I restart with Arabic numerals on page 1 of chapter 1. However, the total number of pages does not reset to 41 at this point. It remains 47.

Therefore, the last page of the document says "Page 41 of 47."

Not good. Again, is there a way to fix this through the menus? 

Thanks, everyone, very much.
