Page-numbering question: continue numbering from one section to the next? {PAGE} of {SECTIONPAGES}

You can't create the fields via the dialogue box - you need to create them in the document itself, using Ctrl-F9 to create the field braces.

Excellent. One again, thank you Paul. I have it working correctly now.

It's funny. At first I was getting an "off by one" error. The last page said "15 of 16". It's because of the cover page, which wasn't being counted among the 'Roman' pages due to a section break on that first page. So I tried putting in a 'minus 1' at the end of the field, like so:

{PAGE} of {={NUMPAGES}-Sctn1-1}

Works fine.
