You need to use the SECTIONPAGES field instead of the NUMPAGES field if you
want the number of pages in the section to be displayed rather than the
number of pages in the complete document.

The document system where I work is set up in sections. For example, work
instructions under Contingency Plans consist of 9 different work
instructions. The work instructions make up a total of 14 pages. Some
instructions are 2 pages long, some 3 pages, etc. My new document is just
1
page. My new document is in Section 11. When I try to add the number of
pages (page 1 of 5) it automatically goes to page 1 of 14. I need it to
say
page 1 of 1.

I would gladly help you with the page numbers but I do not understand
exactly
what your problem is. Could you please explain more clearly:
Do you have a document with only 1 page which should be page no. 14 of 14
or???

Thank you soooooooooo much Lene, I have been racking my brain all
morning. I
followed your instruction to a "T" and got it straightened out. Thank
you
again.
Now can you help me with page numbers. I added a new document which is
section #11. There is a total of 14 pages but my document is only 1
page.
When I try to add the page numbers it automatically goes to 1 of 14.

This happens because the new header is linked to the previous header:
Go to the new section in your document. In Print Layout view,
double-click
the header. Does a small text saying "Same as previous" appear above
the
header? If this is the case, turn it off by clicking the "Link to
previous"
icon in the "Header and Footer" toolbar (no. 5 command from the
right). Now
you should be able to type a header without affecting the header in
the
previous section.
If you need section-specific footers too, you must also turn off
"Same as
previous" in the footer.

How do I make a new Section and add a new Header to it? When I
insert a
section then try to add the Header it changes the Header on the
section above
the one I'm trying to create.
