Default Restart existing page numbers in each section

Insert | Page Numbers is one way to go, depending on version. If you're
using Word 2003 or earlier, you can get to the Page Number Format dialog
directly from the Header and Footer toolbar (the Format Page Number button).
In Word 2007, you use Insert | Page Numbers | Format Page Numbers to get to
it. Then use "Start at 1" for each section.

I have a document that I have broken into 8 sections. It's a quick
reference guide. Each section describes a difference procedure.

I already have the headers and footers set up the way I want them, but
I would like to restart the page numbers at 1 in each section.

The online help suggests using Insert | Page numbers, but that
repalces my existing footers.

How can I leave my footers as they but only restart the numbering?




Can I automatically cause page numbering to restart at 1 in all
sections, including ones I might add later?
