Thanks. That problem is fixed.
I have another issue and I don't know if or how it can be done.
Example: I have a document with 19 pages with a need to be used for
different purposes.
There are two pages in section 1 with page numbering "X of 19".
There are 4 pages in section 2 with page numbering based on it's own section
pages "SX of S4".
Sections 3-5 have the remainder of the pages numbered like section 1 "X of
19".
I would like to be able to have sections 1 and 3-5 have the page numbering
say X of 15. The pages in section 2 will eventually be pulled out to be a
stand alone document. Sections 1, 3-5 will also remain together as a stand
alone document. And thirdly all sections (1-5) will remain together as a
document for a third purpose.
Is this possible? If so, how?

I did what you suggested but the SectionPages field keeps defaulting to a
total page count of 1 instead of 2. So my footers read "S1 of S1, S2 of
S1".
I've updated the fields but it still comes out the same way.
Any suggestions?

Press Alt+F9 to display field codes, change the { NUMPAGES } field in
the footer to a { SECTIONPAGES } field, and press Alt+F9 again to
display field results.

I have been reading these posts, the word.mvps.org site, etc. and
cannot
figure out my problem. I have a document with two sections. The first
section has a footer containing "Page 1 of 6", and the second section
has a
blank footer. I have been able to get the second section to appear
blank,
BUT my numbering in the first section shows "Page 1 of 7" instead of
6. I
only want it to count the pages in the first section, but it's counting
the
2nd section as page 7.
Help!
