Page numbering (XofY)

[rekoop]

Hello,
I have a document with three sections. The first two
sections have continuous page numbering with XofY format
with the Y factor being the total of number of pages in
the first two sections. Currently I am using the
following code: {Page} of {={NumPages}-3} where the 3 is
the total number of pages in the final (3rd) section of
the document.

Can I replace the finite "3" with some code that "reads"
the number of pages in a particular section. My current
code is useless if the final section of the document
varies in the number of pages.

Thanks

One way to do this is to use a PAGEREF field referring to a bookmark on the
last page of the section, but this will work only if the numbering is
restarted in that section (so that the page is numbered 3 or whatever), and
keeping a bookmark in any given location (without inadvertently either
moving or deleting it) is no mean trick.

A little trick here is to bookmark the Section break itself. If you delete
the bookmark, you are bound to notice!
