Default Insert page number into cell

Hi,
This may be complicated so I will do my best to explain clearly what I'm
trying to do.

My company prints Excel reports from our online server that can be anywhere
from 2 pages to 200 pages. The larger reports are actually compliations of
our smaller reports and they are numbered "Page 1 of 123" (and so on) at the
bottom of each page - though not in the footnote. Each page is on one
worksheet. I have designed a macro that searches for this text and inserts a
page break just below it so the pages are set up properly. The first page of
each section is almost exactly the same on each report - the difference being
only vendor name and address (equivalent to 3 cells).

However, for the large reports, I would like each individual report to be
numbered separately from the bulk of the report. I will use a 10-page
example:

Page 1 - start page, vendor A
Page 2 - Vendor A page 2
Page 3 - Vendor A Page 3
Page 4 - start page, vendor B
Page 5 - Vendor B page 2
Page 6 - Vendor B page 3
Page 7 - start page, vendor C
Page 8 - Vendor C page 2
Page 9 - Vendor C page 3
Page 10 - Vendor C page 4

Right now, when I print this report, pages are numbered 1 - 10 sequentially
and the bottom of each page reads "Page x of 10." I'd like to change this so
that page 1 will read "Page 1 of 3" followed by pages 2 and 3, and page 4
will also read "Page 1 of 3", and page 7 will read "Page 1 of 4", etc.

Also, I have named a specific cell on each start page that works correctly;
i.e. the number of named regions (with the exception of Print_Area) equals
the number of individual reports.

How can I go about this, short of manually changing cell values? I know how
to change the "Page x of xx" cell, I just need vba to calculate the x and xx!

Thanks in advance!
