Switching from the PAGE field to the SECTION field is just a simple way of dealing with single-page reports in a multi-Section mailmerge output where you want the X of Y numbering. The other way is to ensure new Sections are created with the 'same as previous property. The blue code in your post has no effect on that, however, since it actually affects everything except a 'G' or 'DT' report by ensuring those other reports all have the same header & footer content as the first Section.
