Word 2003 - "Insert Number of Pages" in Header/Footer command rgille 12/16/2008 1:28:02 AM Hello - I have a two-section document (the section is set up as Section Break - Next Page). I have a header in the second section which says "Page X of Y Pages." I used the Header/Footer command to "Insert Number of Pages" for the "Y" amount. The problem is that this command is picking up the total number of pages in the whole document (including both sections), rather than just showing the total pages in the second section, which is what I want to show in this header. How can I tell Word not to count total number of pages in the document, and just show total pages in the section?

Change NUMPAGES to SECTIONPAGES. Then Alt+F9 to toggle back and F9 to update. -- Suzanne S.
