Help! page numbering

[Slow Learner]

Word 2002, document with multi sections with variations in footer including
page numbering that goes throughout.
Numbering has gone out of whack and will not recognize previous section when
continue from previous section is checked in format numbering. Footer is set
as NOT same as previous because the only thing the same as previous is page
number.
Also is there a way to start, or control the start of number of pages.
Example:
Current shows Page 1 of 80 but document really is only 75 pages as the first
5 pages are numbered differently (roman numerals) or not consider part of
total document.
Can someone please give me the field codes needed and instructions on how to
place them in my footer to achieve my requested result.
Currently when I do the shift F9 I only see {}.
Help on this would be greatly appreciated as I am as usual time deadlined to
fix this problem.
Thank you to all for the assistance.

Thanks have downloaded and printed your help and will try to figure this out.
I am using section new page breaks and section continuous throughout and
will have to take a look at the page numbering info as I am having no problem
in one document, was having no problem in the present document, and now seem
to be coming up 0's!
Thanks again I appreciate your assistance

Try Alt F9 rather than Shift F9.

No luck, still stuck on '0' for page number past section 5. Numbering starts
at section 5 as Page 1 of 80 some odd. Section 6 does not, will not show
page 2 of but does show the total number correctly. Sections 7 and 8 do not
have page numbering, section 9 follows the same page 0 of etc. Nothing is
set to same as previous as all contain different information. I have tried
to change the "start at" numbering but this does not work. Tried to change
the set up to continue from previous but this does not work either.
Is there a way to see the actual programming of the field that is making it
appear 0? and change this somehow?????

Thanks Charles, that was a whoops on my part, I was doing AltF9.
This must be something else as on the bottom the bar is showing Page 0 Sec 6
26/90 in Section 6 and all affected sections show this Page 0. Pages that
are taking the number sequence and those without page numbers show: Page 1
Sec whatever etc.

It is seldom that one needs a table in a header.
