Thanks Daiya. Any idea what \* Mergeformat does?

View | Header/Footer. Hit Alt-F9 to toggle field codes. Where it says
NUMPAGES, change that to SectionPages (be sure not to delete any field
braces {}). Alt-F9 to return field codes to showing field results.

Hello:

How do I replace the NumPages field with a
SectionPages field in a Word document footer so that the pages in a section
are calculated currectly. For example, my document currently has 9 pages - 1
page in section 1 and 8 pages in section 2. However, the footer for the first
page in section 2 is Page 1 of 9 and the last page is Page 8 of 9. I want the
footer of the first page to be Page 1 of 8 and the footer of the last page
should be Page 8 of 8.

Thanks,

Jade.

Jade:

The fields in your document can be updated manually (by pressing F9) or
automatically (e.g. when you have Tools Options Print Update Fields
checked).

MERGEFORMAT prevents the fields from picking up the formatting of the source
when they are updated. For example, it prevents a cross-reference to a
heading from looking big and bold.
