Page Numbering in Multi-Secton Docs

[Fred Chow]

Hi all,

I have a multi-section document. I want to have two sets of page numbers:

The first set of page number numbers the physical pages in the document in
"Page X of Y" format.

The second set of page number numbers the logical pages within each section,
also in "Page X of Y" format.

My question is:
I know there is a field called {SecPages} for returning the total number of
pages in a section, but how can I restart the section number for each new
section, ie, the "X" in the second set of "Page X of Y" format. I tried to
manually reset the section page number by clicking the "Page button" of the
Header/Footer toolbar, however, both Xs will be reset by one. Any ideas on
that? Thanks.

For each section, use the Format Page Number button on the Header and Footer
toolbar to set a starting page number.

If you are still having problems with the Page X of Y format, see

Thanks for your help, though the approach is a bit convoluted.

Apparently I misunderstood the request. :-(

That's the only approach I know of.... and that anyone knows of, so far
as I know, it's the standard reference on the topic.

You're welcome.
