I have a document that has several sections. Each
section is numbered separately, starting at Page 1.
There is not a true Table of Contents, just a front page
that lists each Section title and the number of pages it
contains.

Within the sections, page numbers are in headings and are
created with the field code "SectionPages".

What I can't figure out how to do is to have that total
number of pages in each section which is generated by
the "SectionPages" field code, inserted into the front
page list automatically. Is there any way I can do this?

By putting a SectionPages field in each section and bookmarking it. Then use
a REF field in your TOC.

Wow! Many thanks! :-) I'm glad I found you! I've been
playing around and searching the Help files for days and
no luck. Just made the changes and it worked perfectly.
Thanks again!
