page numbers when I have 2 section breaks in 1 page

[Rasmus]

Hello.
What do I do with my page numbers when I have 2 section breaks in 1 page.
-(Page) at (SectionPages)-
Right now it says 1 to 1 beacause of the section breaks. I would like it to
be 1 to 5 ex.

Please help

In such a case, you will have to calculate the "Y" part in Page X of Y. For
example, if you want to calculate the number of pages in two sections, do
the following: In the header of the first section, insert { SET pagecount1
{ SECTIONPAGES } }. In the header of the second section, insert { SET
pagecount2 { SECTIONPAGES } }, and so on. In the header where you want to
insert the count, use { = { pagecount1 } + { pagecount2 } }.

To insert each pair of field delimiters, { }, press Ctrl+F9. To update
selected fields, press F9. Use Alt+F9 to show/hide field codes.

My problem is that I have a title which is framed in 2 section breaks. Im
doing this because I write in columns and i dont want the title to be in
columns-format. The problem is so, that it counts the title of an independent
section and confuse the page number. How do I get it to count for a single
section?

Sorry, I should have clarified that there might be complications when a
section is limited to part of a page. I'm guessing the problem is that you
want the count for one section but it should be displayed in another
section?

Is it possible to send you an exsample. I think it is very dificult to
explain it in word. Maybe a mail or something else?

Yes, I did get your e-mail. Sorry, I haven't had the time to look at the
file yet--I have been busy at work.
