Section and Page numbering?

[JGT]

I am using Word 2003.
I have a 50 page document split up into 5 sections. I
would like to have the Section and Section page number at
the top in the header. I would also like to have the
Present page number and total of pages in the footer.
For example:

HEADER
Section: 3 p. 1
Code: Section: {SECTION \* MERGEFORMAT} p. {PAGE}

FOOTER:
Page 23 of 50
Code: Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}

My section pages are working fine using {SECTION \*
MERGEFORMAT}. My page numbers for the header and footer
seem to be connected. Both header and foot are not link
to the previous header or footer and should be
independent. When I change the {PAGE} in the header or
footer from (continue from previous) to (start at) both
the header and footer change. I want the header {PAGE}
to be set to (start at) and the footer {PAGE} to be set
to (continue from previous). How do I unlink the header
and footer {PAGE} code?
Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Short Answer: you don't!
The {Page} field is a field, not a formatting feature.
Unlinking from "same as previous" only allows you to have
different formats for each section footer. There is a
usefull areticle in the Knowledge base on doing exactly
what you want. It involves using hidden seq fields to
keep count of the page numbers. If you cannot find it
send me an email and I will send you th reference (cant do
it now as the doc is in my file at home)

Chad's answer in the other thread is simpler than using SEQ fields.
