After a mailmerge in Word 2003 to a new document I would like to print range
batches using the 'pxsx' string. A four-section document merged with anything
more than 250 addresses results in a Status Bar display of 'Page x Section
***'. Can the Section Number display be increased to 4 digits ?

I am not sure that you can change it, but I just used a macro to create a
document with 2000 Sections and in Word 2007 and in that version the four
digits of the Section Number are displayed in the Status Bar area.

You can also display the Section Number of the Section in which the cursor
is located by running a macro with the following code:

MsgBox Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber)

You may also be able to do something with:

Application.StatusBar Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber)

but Application.StatusBar is no longer supported in Word 2007 so I am not
sure of the exact syntax of that command. It probably requires an =
between the StatusBar and Selection, but I don't remember.
