Default Can't reset the page numbering of a page footer

Hi,



I'm using Word 2007, and I'm having a problem with the page footers:



The footer showing a page number of "1-13" is supposed to be the start of a new section of the book, and so it should be page "1-1". How can I fix the footer to say 1-1? I can't seem to find any relevant controls to let me do so; the "Different First Page" checkbox doesn't do what I want either - it wipes out the entire footer, which has some copyright text on it. (I blacked it out in the image).

Thanks!

Your image shows that the field is indeed on page 13 of your document. To start the page numbering from 1 in the new section, access the footer, select the page#, then click on Page Number>Format Page Numbers > Start At, and input 1.
