Multi page numbering

L

LEU

In my document header I have the standard page numbering, “Page {Page \*
MERGEFORM at } of {NUMPAGES \* MERGEFORM AT }†which displays “Page 1 of
100†as an example. In my attachments at the end of the document in the
footer I would like to number them separately. An example would be if the
first attachment has 4 pages, the header shows “Page 90 of 100†and the
footer would show “Page 1 of 4†on page one, “Page 2 of 4†on page 2 and so.
Then in the second attachment the footer numbering would start over. The
total number of pages in the section is the easy part. I can just use “{
SectionPages }â€. How would I get the individual pages in the section to show
the correct numbering (1, 2, 3, 4)? I looked at Greg Maxey’s Page_Numbering.
This would only work as you create a new document. As I would create a new
section, I would have to add a bookmark and then go up into the header and
add a new PageRef. If I’m converting documents and don’t know how many
sections there are, this wont work. This would take forever to go through
each document manually and do. Is this the only option there is? If it is, is
there a way to write a macro to go through the document and create the
numbering? This seams to me to be a huge short coming of Word.
