Shirley Kehr is right, but probably Dan Walkowski meant to say that the document should be split in pieces (not that a new section should be created in a single document). Then the second piece has its page number started from p. xx using the format document dialog and the first piece is linked to the second piece by specifying the second piece as the "next file" in the format document dialog of the first piece so that they print out as one print job. Agreed it would be a lot nicer to be able to have the section pagination start from some number other than one. A -- Dana E.
