I have a document that has multiple sections with separate page numbering.
The first section is numbered "page x of y". The second section is numbered
"Exhibit A-1 of A-25", third section is "Exhibit B-1 of B-11", and so on.
How do I do this in Word 2002?

Put a bookmark on the last page of each section. For example, let's
say you put a bookmark at the end of the second section and call it
EndExhibitA.

Then in the header or footer of the section, change the "y" part of
the "page x of y". Now it's probably a {NumPages} field; change it to
{PageRef EndExhibitA}. The whole thing (with field codes displayed by
pressing Alt+F9) will look like

Exhibit A-{Page} of A-{PageRef EndExhibitA}

Then in the third section you'd use

Exhibit B-{Page} of B-{PageRef EndExhibitB}

and so on.

Just be careful not to delete the bookmarks (it helps to go to Tools
Options View and check "Bookmarks" so you can see them on screen),
and not to add more text after a bookmark that would leave the
bookmark no longer on the last page of the section.
