Merged document numbering issues

The company I work for uses an application that takes mulitple word
documents and merges them into one meta-document with Section Breaks
between each document. This document is then faxed or emailed. Our
problem is with page numbering.

We use templates for the documents, and in the footers have { Page }
of { SectionPages } which unfortunately gives us pages that number
like this:

1 of 2
2 of 2
3 of 1   <----new document
4 of 2   <----new document
5 of 2

How can we get the { Page } portion of the footer numbering to stay
consistent within each individual document so that the pages will be
numbered thusly:

1 of 2
2 of 2
1 of 1   <----new document
1 of 2   <----new document
2 of 2

Thank you.

For each section, in Insert/Page Number/Format you need set the page
numbering to "Restart". Be careful to click CLOSE (not OK) in the
top-level dialog box on your way out!

Thank you for this. The Close (not OK) was what was getting me. I was
able to create a macro which is called prior to closing the
metadocument which renumbers the sections based on this information.
