My document has 3 sections and each has various number of pages.

Eg. Section 1 has 3 pages; section 2 has 4 and section 3 has 1 page.

I would like to show the page number as following:

Page 1.1 of 3
Page 1.2 of 3
Page 1.3 of 3


Page 2.1 of 4
Page 2.2 of 4 etc

Page 1.1 of 3 means: Section 1, page 1 of 3.
Page 1.3 of 3 means: Section 1, page 3 of 3.

I know word as field for Section number and total number of page of section; however, there is nothing for current page number of each section.

If a VBA code is required, could someone show me a code to do so?

Thanks.

A co-worker offered a solution.
- "dis-link" section from previous for footer/header and allow page to restart counting from one for each section.

Not sure if that's the best way to do it but at least it is a very easy fix for my need for now.

The easiest approach here is to set page numbering to start from 1 on each section. On the Insert tab, click Page Number, and then click Format Page Numbers. Change the start value and click OK. Move the insertion point to each of the remaining sections of the document and repeat the procedure.
