Unique page number field?

[ML]

Is there a field that give a unique page number for each page within a
document?

The issue I am having with the PAGE field is that it is specific to
sections. I have another field that creates a unique SEQ number using this
field that is used for page level classification markers. Since there are
multiple sections I end up with possibly having two page 1 for example. I
need to somehow uniquely reference each page.

I tried doing {SECTION * 10000 + PAGE} as a test to see if that would make a
unique number but it seems as such math is not allowed and it only gives the
SECTION.

Any ideas?

ML,

I am not sure that I follow what it is that you are trying to achieve.
Maybe you can get some ideas here:

Page numbering is continuous throughout a document unless you are restarting
it in each section. In either case, the { PAGE } field will always return
the number that will be printed on a given page.

For calculations you need to use a calculation field.

{ = {Section} * 1000 + {Page} }
should give you the number you were looking for in your example.

Thanks. That is what I am looking for.
