Multiple Page 1's in same document

[zSplash]

I have unsuccessfully posted to another newsgroup, and hope someone can head
me in the right direction. It simply can't be as difficult as I'm finding
it to be. What I want to accomplish is to have a document with various
subdocs, each subdoc of which has a beginning pageNumber of 1, with
subsequent page numbering upward -- within the subdoc. That way, there
could be a base document of 32 pages, with 8 subdocs of 4 pages each (for
example). For purposes of this document, there are nothing except subdocs
in the main doc.

Through VBA, I "call up" a requested number of "sub-docs" (by inserting them
into a blank doc), separating each doc with a Page-Break. (I could change
that to a SectionBreak_NextPage, if necessary.) Another usergroup's
suggestion was to run the following code on the entire document, but I still
don't get what I'm seeking.

I hate to whine, but it sounds to me like what I am trying to do is too
simple to be so difficult. What could I be doing wrong??

TIA

You need a section break with new page option (not a page break) at
the start of each sub-document. For each section, in the header (or
footer) unlink from the previous header (or footer), insert the page
number, format the page number, and specify the starting value you
want.

It is not necessary to unlink the headers/footers to restart the page
number, only to change the number format.
