how do I insert the page number of the last page in a section?

[Wocket]

I have got a document in WOrd 2003 with multiple sections. On the footer of
the first page of each section I would like to print something like: "Page 23
to 47", where 23 is the start page of the section, and 47 is the last page of
the section. The first one is easy (as this is just the current page), but
the last one I can't crack - any ideas?

Thanks in advance - John Larson

Put a bookmark on the last page of the section. Then put a PageRef field in
the footer, using the name of the bookmark.

You have to be careful not to delete the bookmark and not to add more pages
to the section after the bookmark. You can go into Tools > Options > View
and turn on display of bookmarks (they appear as fat gray square brackets or
I-beams, depending on whether they contain text or are empty) to help you
avoid problems.
