numbering in section

Alen Bastic

I'm having a document on about 60 pages. In this document
I'm having page numbering (lets call it "main numbering")
from 1 to 60. In the document there are sections (ex 10
some only one page some more pages). I have to have (on
every singl page) "main numbering" and "section
numbering" (section numbering is ex. "Name of section
3/15", where 15 is number of section pages and 3 is
current page in section)
My problem is, that if I set in every section start from
1 then section numbering is ok, but "main numbering" is
wrong, because its no represent the page number in that
document. If I set in every section to continue numbering
from previous section, then "section numbering" is wrong.
Is there any possible solution?

There's a field called "SectionPages" that sounds like it might be what you
want, though I'm not sure because it's only the total number of pages in the
section - if you need the current number within the section, it may not
help.

Go to Insert/Field and select Numbering for the category.

The option for your current-page-in-section could be to use a Seq field
(also in Insert/Field/Numbering). You would just have to restart the Seq
counter on the first page of each section, but that would be easy enough if
you use Different First Page Footers for your sections.

Make sense???

Well in my case SEQ works in main document (not in
header - word reports an error in field). I already tried
with SectionPages wich works perfect. The only and main
problem stays page numbering within section. The title of
chapter or whatever had to be in header and have to be
presented on every page
ex. "Chapter-1 3/8"(where 3 id 3th page in chapter 1 out
of 8) and in footer have to be preseted number of that
page in current document.

Well i'm thinking about some VBA. I 'll reset numbering
pages in every section. Then i'll insert via VBA page
numbering in header. Is this possible?
