Default numbering problem

I've got page x of y in the footer of a mail merge document.

The numbering keeps a cumulative y rather than cutting off at the end of
each record.

currently reads:
record 1 is 3 pages; reads 1 of 6, 2 of 6, 3 of 6
record 2 is 3 pages; reads 4 of 6, 5 of 6, 6 of 6

want it to read:
record 1 is 3 pages; reads 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3
record 2 is 3 pages; reads 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3

Thanks for any help

In the main document, use a { SECTIONPAGES } field instead of the {
NUMPAGES } field that you have there at the moment.

Use Alt+F9 to toggle on the field codes to see the fields.
