Word has a SECTIONPAGES field. If you put that into the header/footer of a given Section, that Section's page count will appear on every page.

In any event, if each Section starts with a Heading and your document has a Table of Contents (TOC), you should be able to calculate the # pages for each Section at a glance from the TOC.

Anything fancier would require a macro and the figures returned would be static (i.e. they wouldn't auto-update as you edit.

In any event, theses are usually expressed in word counts rather than page counts.
