Reply To: Overall page numbering and section-specific page numbering

Étienne — Ah, I see. I should have read your post better. So you want this kind of numbering:

APP1-1 1
APP1-2 2
APP1-3 3
APP2-1 4
APP2-2 5
APP2-3 6

where the number following APP1 and APP-2 are section-level page numbers, so to speak, and the last numbers (1 to 6) the accumulated page numbers. If that’s correct, you can use either of the tricks described by David Blatner (https://creativepro.com/use-numbered-lists-instead-of-auto-page-numbering.php or https://creativepro.com/sequential-numbering-inside-paragraphs.php) or a script. I would use a script to do the numbering because it can override the master items, which, as David mentioned, is a hassle when you use a non-scripted method.
