Default Need to add 'total pages' to footer (ie Page 2 of 5)

If you are numbering these sections continuously, then put a bookmark on the
last page of Section 4 and use a PAGEREF field to pick up the page number of
that bookmark.

Right......but how can I determine the total number of pages in sections

2, 3
and 4? In other words, how do I find {SECTIONPAGES} for section 2 +
{SECTIONPAGES} for section 3 + {SECTIONPAGES} for section 4?

TIA

You can use the SectionPages field instead of NumPages to get the number

of
pages in a given section.

My document is a bit more complex, and I need some help.
The document contains 6 sections, and all of the page numbering is

within
the footers.

Section 1: Title page + TOC
Section 2: Main document
Section 3: One page that needs to be landscape in this order
Section 4: Main document...continued
Section 5: Appendix A
Section 6: Appendix B and C which are landscape

This is how I'd like my document to be numbered.
Section 1: Title page (first page) has is counted but shows no number.

Page
2 and 3 have roman numerals (ii, iii).
I have manged to do this.

Section 2: Page X of Y, starting from 1, counting until the end of

Section
4.
Section 3: Same as above
Section 4: Same as above
I can get the 'Page X of ' part correctly, but getting Word to

understand
what I mean by 'Y' is difficult. I'd like this to be dynamic (i.e.

not
requiring me to do a manual count and stick in a number each time)

Section 5: Page A1, Page A2...etc
Section 6: Page B1, Page B2...Page C1, Page C2...etc
I don't know how to get the 'A' in front of the page number, without
manually sticking it in. Likewise with the 'B' and 'C'.

TIA

In the Insert tab, click the Page Number dropdown arrow, Bottom of

Page.
Scroll down the list of choices. The first group is Simple, then

Page X,
and
then Page X of Y. There are 3 built-in choices.

Or... if you already have Page x, type " of " after the page number,

press
Ctrl+F9 (inserts field braces {}), type numpages between the

braces,
and
press F9.
