Let's say I have a 100-page document with multiple sections. The footer of each section needs to indicate TWO page numbers: the SECTION page, and the page number within the ENTIRE document.

So if Section 1 has 7 pages, the pagination would have to include "Page 1 of 7".
If Section 2 has 10 pages, the pagination would have to state "Page 1 of 10"
etc.

At the same time, IN THE SAME FOOTER, there has to be information on the position of the page in the ENTIRE document.

So if the entire document were 100 pages, the Section 1 footer would say

Page 1 of 7 Total document page 1 of 100

The Section 2 footer would say

Page 1 of 10 Total document page 8 of 100

I have searched Google high and low but have not found an answer. And yet I see documents (PDFs unfortunately, not the Word documents themselves) that DO have this multiple pagination. Any ideas?

Thanks!
