Well, since you couldn't read the GregMaxey page, you didn't see that the
first section of it explains exactly what you describe and have never been
able to get work--using a PageRef field to show page numbers that are the
sum of the number of pages in different sections. Is that darned good
reason?

It doesn't detail exactly what the OP wants, but it does demonstrate the
method that the OP needs to tweak a little.

In this case, I think the OP would use a field to get {={PageRef S1} +
{Page}}, with the section set to restart.

If you print it, your printer might adjust it.

Good links, but ... neither, I don't believe, answers the OP's
question, which is something I have tried to figure out before
too.

IMO, he want to "automatically" start numbering section 3, based
on the last page number in section 1. He does NOT want insert a
"start with" page number, because changing the number of pages in
section one means the first page of section 3 must be incremented
to one higher than that of section 1. So, it's not a case of
using "Start Numbering at", it's a case of making it 1+section 1
highest page number.
I can almost see how to do that by using a link of some sort
to the page number on the last page of section 1, increment it by
one, and start numbering, but ... I've never been able to make it
work.

Any thoughts?

BTW if anyone knows gregmaxey, his page is nearly unreadable at
800 x 600; he needs to fix that. I gave up trying to actually
read it. I don't scroll horizontally without darned good reason.

: I am using Word 2002.
: In a long document I am using sections to number de pages of

get through,
: Insert, Pagenumbers.
: THIS IS MY PROBLEM:
: Section1: I start with 1 and it ends with for instance page
6.
: Section2: I start again with page 1 and this ends with page
4.
: Section3: This section I want to continue numbering from
section 1. So
: this
: one must start automatically with page 7.

: Is this possible? Must I insert somewhere a field which
keeps track of
