insert page numbers for each section
Tried to do it with
"Header/Footer" but I am dong something wrong and each section page is
numbered one - advice please - thanks
As long as you can fit the page numbers in the space available you should be
OK, but do not use the Insert page Number button on the Header/Footer
toolbar as it inserts a textbox that you don't need.
Once you have opened the header/footer, use ctrl-F9 to insert a pair of the
special field code braces {} , then type the SECTION between them so you end
up with
{ SECTION }
This inserts the section number rather than the page number (which will
always be 1 as you have noticed). Format the code however you need it - if
it changes font or size after the merge, change the code to
{ SECTION \*Charformat } and ensure that the " S" are formatted the way you
need.
You should do that in the Mail merge Main document, then do the merge or you
may find yourself having to insert the { SECTION } field into every single
section :-)

I have completed a mail merge of labels (Avery 5160 - 30 address labels per
page) and now have one page and 326 sections. I need to insert page
numbers
for each section but when I try to do so it moves the section page down so
last 3 labels of each page is on next page. Tried to do it with
"Header/Footer" but I am dong something wrong and each section page is
numbered one - advice please - thanks
