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!
