I've read through a few threads and tried section numbers, but can't work this out.

`Pg1 - cover
Pg2 - contents
Pg3 - section a cover
Pg4 - section a 1 of 2
Pg5 - section a 2 of 2
Pg6 - section b cover
Pg7 - section b 1 of 2
Pg8 - section b 2 of 2
Pg9 - cover`


I'm trying to get "1 of 2" etc generated automatically based on starting a new section, independent of page numbers.
Sections don't seem to do this, but I can't work out what will.

Any clues?

Your section start will define the "1" of the "1 of X."

You use the placeholder marker to give you the "1."

The "X" itself is generated by a text variable:

InDesign CS5: Placeholder for "number of pages in a document"?


If you go to Type > Text variables > Insert variable, you will find "Last page Number."


This gives you the last page number in the section, which is what you want.
