Solved: Making a new section {PAGE} = 1

Hey guys,
I have a question in Word. Where can you set it so that everytime you insert a new section your {PAGE} will start at 1 again.



Thank you

View>Header & Footer>Format Page Number contains the option to continue from previous section or start at a specified page number.
By default, Headers & Footers will retain the same settings as the previous sections so you should get the behaviour you're looking for

Cool! That worked awesome.

Can someone do me a huge favor? I am having some problems with {SECPAGES}.


I was testing this on a blank Word document and its the same problem. Basically {SECPAGES} does not show a number. Matter of fact is doesnt show anything.

Here is how i was testing this:

1) I created a new word document.
2) Then I went to View--> Headers and Footers.
Entered {PAGE} out of {SECPAGES} (Of course using Crtl+F9 for the {PAGE} and {SECPAGES}). Afterwards I pressed Alt+F9.
3) Now I clicked on "Format Page Number" and then I made page numbering start at "1".
4) Now i went to the regular view (Not the Header Footers view).
5) I inserted a SECTION PAGE BREAK (Insert-->Break-->Next Page under Section Breaks) three times.
On every new page (also new section) the {PAGE} = 1 which is how its suppose to be.
The problem is that nothing is showing up for the {SECPAGES}.
Could anyone tell me what I am missing??


Thank you
Mike

Thanx
