section page numbers in heading and total page number in footing

[Desparate Word user]

In a document with different sections I want to add the number of section
pages in the header and the total number of pages of the document in the
footing. This seems to give a conflict. As soon as I add in the footer the
total number of pages of the document, the pagenumber of the section in the
header also changes to the total number of pages of the document.

and see if it helps at all.

I've done some section numbering to have A-1, A-2, A-3 in section A, B-1,
B-2, B-3, in section B and I found it to be rather cumbersome. Have at it!
I'm not sure how you'd keep a running total of the number of pages in each
section, however.
