Hi Jerry,

Here's one approach:
1. Make sure the 'same as previous' setting for both Appendix Sections is unchecked.
2. In the first Section's footer put a field coded as {SET App1 {SECTIONPAGES}}
3. In the second Section's footer put a field coded as {SET App2 {SECTIONPAGES}}
4. For the x of 'Page Ax of Ay' numbering in both footers, use the std Page # tools.
5. For the y of 'Page Ax of Ay' numbering in both footers, use a field coded as {=App1+App2 \# 0}
There is a risk that the SET fields (which are used to create two bookmarks (App1 & App2)) will be deleted by accident. You can
guard against this by embedding them and the page numbering code in a QUOTE field, thus:
{QUOTE{SET App1 {SECTIONPAGES}} "Page Ax of A{=App1+App2 \# 0}"}
for the first Section and:
{QUOTE{SET App2 {SECTIONPAGES}} "Page Ax of A{=App1+App2 \# 0}"}
for the second Section, where the 'x' is created as per step 4 above.

Our documents often have appendixes, which need page numbers in the format
"Page A1 of A10." We normally use the field { SECTIONPAGES } to insert the
total number of pages in the appendix.

Today, I have a document with an appendix that has the first two pages in
portrait orientation, and the remainder of the pages in landscape. Of course
I had to use a section break to change to landscape, so this appendix now has
two sections in it. Is there any way to link these two sections so that a
single field will insert the proper number of pages on all pages of the
appendix?

Thanks.
