I am trying to automate page counting. Currently i am using a forumula to
subtract one reference from another. the references point to headers:

{={PAGEREF _123 \h} - {PAGEREF _Ref344 \h}}

BUT since it is easy to delete the text being reference, i would prefer to
automatically add a "Section Break Before" the header. I know a "Page break
before" exists, but i have not found a way to add "Section break before".
then i can easily use this field to get the page count:

{SECTIONPAGES}


Any ideas? thank you

You cannot include a section break with a style. One option might be
to save a section break as an AutoText entry, which makes insertion
easy (but see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...thSections.htm for more on
sections and section-level formatting).

oh man. that is not the answer i wanted since it verifies what i found.
Since i am working with a template, i can manually add the section breaks
where appropiate.

thank you for your help.
