SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on numbering multiple Word documents while maintaining separate page counts for each document. The user seeks to display page numbers in the format "Page X/Y" for each section, where X is the current page number and Y is the total number of pages in that section. The solution involves using section breaks in Microsoft Word to reset page numbering. The user successfully implemented this by navigating to the Insert menu, selecting Break, and choosing "Next Page," though it resulted in the heading moving to a new page.

I always have the page numbering in the footers. I do believe that if you insert a section break in the text, the next page will restart at 1. I'll see if I can't try it out to make sure.

EDIT: That seems to work for me. I went to Insert and then Break. I selected "Next Page" from the dialog box. It worked fine. The only thing is that it moved the heading to the next page. I am sure that there is a way to do that without moving the text to another page.
