In the Format Page Number dialog, set the numbering for each Section to
start at 1

To do this to every Section in your loooooong document, use a macro
containing the following code:

Dim i As Long, j As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count
With .Sections(i)
For j = 1 To .Headers.Count
.Headers(j).PageNumbers.StartingNumber = 1
Next j
End With
Next i
End With

...
I have a looooooong document -- several volumes. I use Style Ref in the
Header to pick up
Heading Style 4, which is the section number and title for each topic
throughout the
document. Some of these section topics are contained in only one page;
others span
several pages. I want to show a page number in the header and I want the
numbering to
restart with each section heading. To achieve this:

Sec. 4.08 -- Offer Defined p. 4.08-1
p. 4.08-2
p. 4.08-3 ... etc.



Can somebody help?
