And where are you going to enter the new page number? Format Document 
applies to the document. Format Section only allows you to restart the
new section at page 1 (or continue with the next page number if you
don't select restart at 1).

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.

I have a PostScript "footer" which permits discontinuous
page numbering in Word.  I could email/post it if anyone is interested.
