I have formatted my footer as you describe (Page x of y) - for me it
works fine, including the correct section pages - but I emailed the
doc to someone to print, and for them the page numbers appear correct
in print preview, but print out as "page 1 of 1," page 2 of 2, etc.
(when there are 32 pages)
Any idea what might be the problem here?

Here's an example from the Word Help for the term "sectionpages."
"To print text such as "Page 4 of 29" on each page of a document
you've divided into sections, insert the following fields and text
in the header or footer:
Page { PAGE } of { SECTIONPAGES }"
If you open your footer and toggle the page number to view the field
codes (right-click on the page number and click Toggle Field Codes)
you'll see that the page number is created with fields. You just
have to change the NUMPAGES field to a SECTIONPAGES field.
You can type the text within the curly brackets to change the field
name. (For future reference, you can not, however, just type curly
brackets to insert a field. You have to press Ctrl+F9 or use the
Insert Field command.)
