Thank you for this post. One question please... I have a 3 section document. The 1st has no page number; the 2nd is lower Roman (i, ii, etc). The 3rd section is arabic numerals (1,2,3). For the third section I would like display the page number as "Page x of y" where "y" is the number of pages in the third section. "y" is currently displaying as the total number of pages.in the document (field NumPages). Do I have the ability to do what I want to?
Funny that we both had the same problem in November 2012...
Anyways, I found a solution for Word 2007.
1. Go through the motions listed in this article (create sections, unlink, restart numbering)
2. Create the format you need (e.g. "x of y" or "Page x of y"...)
3. For each section's "y", highlight the y, right click, select "edit field"
4. In the "Field names" choice column (left side of dialog box), change the selection from "NumPages" to SectionPages".
Cheers!

Hello,
I'm formatting a document and I'm kind of locked into how it must look. I inserted section breaks in order to populate the Table of Contents, and I need a footer that reflects each section, but page numbers that are continuous. I can't seem to get figure out how to do this, without numbering each page myself. And if I number or add the footer titles myself page by page, will that allow future worker drones the ability to insert new sections? And yes, I must have a footer of the section title and the page number at the bottom of the page.
Thank you in advance!
