Your problem is in using SectionPages instead of Page. The advice to use
SectionPages (instead of NumPages) has to do with Page X of Y. Just use the
Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert an
ordinary PAGE field. FWIW, (4) makes no sense, since both SectionPages and
Page are field codes.

I still can't get the numbering to work, even though I clearly have the
following:
Section 1--no numbering; that part is okay.
Section 2--roman. Previous/Next Section is turned off. The first page in
section 1 is ii and I cannot get it to read as "i" no matter how many
times I
(a) make sure I have sections, (2) select page number start at 1 (3) use
SECTIONPAGES instead of PAGE, (4) Use Field Codes instead, etc.

HELP! Please.

Hi Gill,

Use a SECTIONPAGES field instead of the usual NUMPAGES field.

Hi,

I hv e a document with a number of sections in it but each section
requires
its own 'page of pages' numbering starting at page 1 and ending in the
last
page number for that section only.

Can someone help me find a way around the 'pages' number being the
total
number of pages in the document?

Im using office 2007 and saving in 2003 compatability.


kind regards
