I need each new section of my document to show Page # of # pages for each section (where each number of pages starts over for each section). Is there a way to do that?

Yes. Probably. If you press Alt+F9 to toggle your display of field codes to codes rather than results, your second number should look similar to {NUMPAGES}. Edit that to {SECTIONPAGES} and press Alt+F9 to toggle back. Then refresh fields, for example, by using Print Preview. Any luck?

(P.S., those field code braces are inserted using Ctrl+F9, just in case you delete them.)

I use a header for each page of my documents. Clicking anywhere in the header opens the header toolbar. The first column in this toolbar is “insert auto text”. If you scroll down this column, the last item is: Page X of Y. This usually does it for me.
