I have two sections in my document. In the second section I want the footer
to read
"Page X of Y" where Y is automatically computed as the number of pages in
section 2 and not the total count of all pages in the document both sections
1 and 2.

In your footer press Alt-F9 to show field codes. Make suer that the footer
for that section is not set to same as previous. Change the NumPages field
to a SectionPages field and press F9 to update it. Then press Alt-F9 again
to hide the field codes.
