Default Auto Page Numbers (1.1, 1.2, etc.)

Thank you for your help.
What I did was put the chapters in separate files. I used your method and my
pages all stay at 1.1. Actually, when I close the Header/Footer, the footer
disappears. So I don't have to combine all the files together in one file, is
there a way to add the page numbers in the first file as 1.1, 1.2, etc. and
then the 2nd file 2.1, 2.2, etc.
Thank you, Karen

If the 1.1 is page 1 of section 1 and say 2.1 would be page 1 of section 2,
and your Heading 1 style has numbering assigned. Then in the Footer add the
Page number from the Header and Footer toolbar (the # icon), then with the
page number selected, use the Page Number Format icon (# with hand) check the
Include Chapter number box, change the Separator to Period, then Have the
page numbering Start At: 1.
Hope this helps

I want to add a footer to my document that adds page numbers automatically
as follows:

Can this be done?
