Default Total page number for group of sections

Hi...

I have a document format set by internal convention. I've got a report format, and it was working well until I broke it by putting another section break in!

I have page numbering "1 of X" through the first part of the document, and then "A1 of AX" for the appendices, which are a different section. It works well, and the "Ax" number is generated by using the code "Section Pages".

However, I need to have a landscape page for one part of the appendices. So, I put in another section break to put a landscape page in.

However, because I put a section break in, my "section pages" reference shows the sections up to the landscape page, the landscape page, and after it, as new page number totals.


For example I now have in the Appendix, pages A1 - A5 showing as "A1 of A5", A6 (the landscape page) showing as "A6 of A1", then the remainder (A7 - A10) showing as "A7 of A4, A8 of A4", etc.

How can I still generate the right number of pages in the appendix without using "Section Pages", or insert a landscape page without a section break?

Cant use the SectionPages field so you have two options:
1. Easy but short term = hard code the number of pages in the Appendix for those sections
2. Harder but better = add a bookmark on the last page of the appendix and then use a cross reference to that page number in the footers.
