Section Page Numbers (Fields) - 2007

[Sue C]

I have a document which is split into 2 sections.

Each section has a footer which shows various wording incorporating 'Page x
of y', which I've set up using fields.

y is the total number of pages in that section, and I would like x to be the
page number in relation to that section, as opposed to in relation to the
whole document. That is, the first page of section 2 should read 'page 1 of
15', not page 20 of 15 (because section 1 has 19 pages).

The footers aren't linked, but I still can't find a way of resetting the
numbering with each section. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Activate the header/footer area for the section. On the Header & Footer
Tools Design tab, click Page Number, and then click Format Page Numbers. In
the dialog box, choose "Start at" and specify 1 as the starting number.
Click OK. Repeat the procedure for other sections, as needed.

On the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, locate the Header & Footer group.
Click on the Page Number button and choose Format Page Numbers... In the
Page Number Format dialog, choose "Start at 1."
