Maybe I'm just too dumb to understand, but I don't think this helps. What
I'm trying to get is two seperate sets of numbers in the same document. One set of numbers would be the simple 1,2,3 for each page of the document, regardless of what section it's in. The other set would be the page number for that particular section, like Section 3, Page 2. Any suggestions?

There is no easy way to do this. You need to set the numbering to restart in
each section, and then you need to use a calculated page number for the cumulative number. The calculation is the current page number plus the sum of the numbers of pages in the preceding sections. -- Suzanne S.

So far, all I see is differnt ways to insert the same page numbers. What I'm trying to achieve is TWO seperate sets of page numbers displayed. One, base on the section in which the page appears; and the second a "control" number that gives the page number based on the entire document. I've tried the {PAGE} , but the page number displayed still depends on the formatting of the page number in the header or footer. Maybe there's just no way to so this. Has anybody got any other ideas? |

You will need to put a SECTIONPAGES field at the end of each Section. That
will display the number of pages in the Section. You will need to assign a bookmark to each of those fields (Section1 for Section 1, Section2 for Section 2, etc. Then in the Header/Footer of Section 2 you will need the following formula to display the section page numbers of that Section { = { PAGE } - { PAGEREF Section1 } } In Section 3 you will need { = { PAGE } - { PAGEREF Section1 } - { PAGEREF Section2 }} etc for each Section. You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { }. It will NOT work if you just type those from the keyboard. You use Alt+F9 to hide the field codes and F9 to update the formula so that it displays the result. -- Hope this helps.

Does this apply only to Office 2003 - I'm using Office 2000 and seem to
occasionally have the page number problem in Headers - I start new sections and want the page numbering to be sequential (1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4, etc.) in each section but many times I get 1 of 1, 2 of 2, 3 of 3, etc. Will the formula help me in Word 2000?
