[Tex/LaTex] LastPage to be set on specific page

lastpagepageref

I have a very specific issue with the LastPage Package. I'll try and explain the best I can.

So I have an article. That uses:

\rfoot {Page \thepage \hspace{1pt} of \pageref{LastPage}}

To add the page number to the bottom of each page. which works fine.

But I would like my "Last Page" To be my references page. My basic article structure is.

  • Title
  • Fore Pages (Nomenclature, Abstract, Table of Contents)
  • Main Body (Introduction, ETC ETC References)
  • Aft Pages (Glossary, Index, Appendix)

Is there any way to set the Reference Page as the Last page so all pages above that are correct e.g Page 1 of 3. I don't want the Glossary, Index, Appendix included in the page count.

For my References Page I'm using:

\newpage
\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{references}

Any help would be greatly appricated.

If you want to use the beginning of the Reference section as the last page, you can add a label immediately after \newpage, say \newpage\label{mylastpage}, and use that label in \pageref{mylastpage}.

If you want to use the end of the Reference section as the last page, add the label after \bibliography{referencec}.

With this you don't even need the LastPage package.
