Override page numbering in word

Hello,
I have a document in which i want to override the page numbering.
Ie: my document has 5 pages but instead of 5 I want to show: 5+2 = 7.
Is this possible?
I have tried to insert a function like: =PAGE+2 but i get a !Undefined Bookmark, PAGE
Any ideas?

Answer
You would need {={ Page } + 2 } with the brackets inserted using CTRL+F9, though do note that you can set the start number from Format > Page Number on the context sensitive header tab, thus obviating the need for a calculation.
