My document has five pages. I want the first three pages to have a footer
with Page 1 of 3, Page 2 of 3, and Page 3 of 3. Then, I want the last two
pages of the document to have a footer with Page 1 of 2, Page 2 of 2. I can
almost do it with the - PAGE - option in Insert Auto Text. I divided my
document into two sections with new first page numbers. The footers in the
first section have - 1 -, - 2 - and - 3 - . Similarly, the footers in the
second section have - 1 - and - 2 -. However, when I use the Page X of Y
option, the first section reads Page 1 of 5, Page 2 of 5, Page 3 of 5 and the
second section also reads Page 1 of 5 and Page 2 of 5. Help!

Start with Page X of Y. Press Alt+F9 to display the field code and change
NumPages to SectionPages. Alt+F9 again and F9 to update.
