Hi macropod,

Thanks for confirming that - I wondered whether you might have found
some magical technique to preserve these fields!

Hi Peter,

Ah, I see what you mean. I originally tested the field code with an
ordinary document, not with a mailmerge document.

The following construct does survive the merge process:
{={NUMPAGES}-{PAGE}-{SECTIONPAGES} \# ";'Text for every page in the last
Section'"}
Note the need for the single quotes - otherwise the 'x' in 'Text' is
misinterpreted.
