page number in each section

[Ruth]

Hi there

I have several section and the footer shows page # of #. In each section, I
want it to start at 1 of number of pages in the section. I figured out how
to change the first number so it is correct-- but I can not figure out how to
change the total number of pages in the document to the total number of pages
in the section.

How do you change it so is show the total number of pages in the section?

Use the SectionPages field instead of NumPages.

How do you do that?

Sorry-- I looked for it and tried help and do not see it anywhere. I have
version 2003.

Press Alt+F9 to reveal the field codes in your document; the page count is a
NUMPAGES field. Change the field code to SECTIONPAGES. Press F9 to update
the selected field. Use Alt+F9 to hide the codes again.
