Page total shows total for entire document not each section total.

I have a document with several sections, but am unable to get a correct
page
total for each separate section. The printed page total is the total
pages
for the entire document. I've inserted section breaks and broken the link
to
each previous section and still end up with the wrong totals.

A simple 7 page document example follows. In this case I have a cover
page
followed by two sections of three pages each. There is a section break
after
the cover page and a section break after the first section. The links to
the
previous section have been broken.

Section 1 prints without a page number as as desired.
Section 2 is numbered 1 of 7, 2 of 7, and 3 of 7. The desired output is
1
of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 4.
Section 3 is numbered 1 of 7, 2 of 7, and 3 of 7. The desired result is
1
of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3.

There are seven total pages in the document, but I need each section to
have
separate section totals. How do I get the total to be the total for that
section only?
