Using Word 2002. I want to use Page x of y within a
section. For example, my section 2 has 10 pages, yet my
entire document has 30 pages. I want section 2 footer
numbering to say Page x of 10 (not 30), using field codes
in case the number of pages in section 2 changes. Can
this be done? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
