Page numbers at the top or bottom of each COLUMN

[Joseph Greenberg]

I have a 2-column report that is currently printing a uniform header at the
top of each column, through the use of a "fake" grouping variable (thanks to
the group for that piece of advice). Now I'm trying to number each column as
a page - so on the first physical page of the report the first column will
have a spot where it says "page 1" and the second column will be labelled
"page 2". I've tried putting a [Page] label in the group footer but it keeps
numbering each column with the current physical page (so both columns on
page 1 are labelled as page 1). Any ideas of the settings I must use on the
group footer (in the group properties as well as the group section
properties) to make this work correctly? Thanks.
