I thank each of you for helping me with this situation. I have tried to
follow each of your posts and use them. Alas! I have NOT been able to use
your latest two examples. I do not know enough about Word formulas to
interpet your examples althuogh i think i follow the logic.

When i attempt to use field codes such as Numpages or Section i get an error
(undefined). The QUOTE you are using is undefined (unless it means to insert
a quote...single or double). I have tried both to no avai.

I will continue to follow any posts you provide.

Again thank you, eventually i will absorb enough to solve this problem. To
restate: I have XX of XXX in the header which should not be affected by
whatever i do in the footer. In the footer (only for the appendices) i want
it to show A-1, A-2, etc. for each appendix. I will change to B-1, B-2, etc.
for the next appendex and so on.

At this point it is easier to manually do it. But there has to be a way to
automate this process since on my site there are many others who will create
and/or edit documents such as this.

Would it not be simpler to put a bookmarked SectionPages (hidden by
formatting it white) into each section and use an IF formula. So S2 would
have IF NumPages - Bookmark 1, S3 would have IF NumPages - (Bookmark 1 +
Bookmark 2) and so on? (If not simpler, then this simpleton would understand
it better.) g

Hi Terry,

A suitable formula field is:
{QUOTE{IF{PAGE}= 1 {SET Section0 0}}
{IF{PAGE}{NUMPAGES} {IF{={SECTIONPAGES}+{REF {QUOTE
Section{={SECTION}-1}}}}={PAGE} {SET {QUOTE Section{SECTION}} {PAGE}}}}
"Page {={PAGE}-{REF {QUOTE Section{={SECTION}-1}}}} of {SECTIONPAGES}"}

I have reread the original question and I see that I misunderstood. The
user wants a running page count for the total document and a running page
count for each section!

So you do need to disable the Link to Previous and it will need formulae
fields.

Sorry to have confused the issue.

Hmm, even though you can use SECTIONPAGES to count the number of pages
in
each section, and the NUMPAGES field to count the total number of pages
in
the document, I don't see how you can get both running page numbers (1,
2, 3, ..., NUMPAGES) and "section-based" page numbers (1, 2, ...,
SECTIONPAGES) without using formula fields?

Actually, for what you want (or at least I think you want), you do not
need to unlink the H&Fs. All you need to do is put the Pages X of Y
fields
in the Header and the section pages of section field in the footer.

The header will display something like: Page 66 of 128
The footer will display something like: Page 19 of Section 3

Is that what you need?

Help! I would like to have page numbering in both the header and the
footer.
But, the numbering should NOT be linkied together. The header will
contain
a continuous numbering of ALL pages in the document. The footer will
contain
only the numbering for the section(s).
