How do I get the NUMPAGES field to count the pages in a section rather than
the whole document. I tried the solution proposed by MS using a formula with
the bookmark StartingNumber but that brings up the error undefined bookmark.
Word 2003 and 2002.

Hi Monty

If, by "section", you mean a Word section, then try the SECTIONPAGES field.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Shauna,
That works as long as there is only one section, which is all I have in the
document in question. I ended up using the formula { = { NUMPAGES} -2}. The
number has to be changed to the number of pages not required to be counted.
This should work regardless of the number of sections used in the document.
