Printing by page number

Question

Hi,
I'm working on a book, divided into five sections. For ease of manipulation, the sections are all separate documents, but the page numbers in each section start relative to the book as a whole, i.e., the first page in section two is '53'. So far so good, and the document as a whole transferred with no difficulty from Appleworks. In Appleworks if I wanted to then print, for editing say, pages 58 through 61, I would choose print in the file menu, fill in 58 and 61, and the appropriate pages would print. Pages, however, seems to insist on numbering the printed pages starting at page one in each section (document), so to print 58 to 61, say, I would fill in 6 - 9. This is awkward and Appleworks seemed better in this regard, am I missing something?
Thanks for any help,
Ray

Answer 1

I apologize, I never got the described behavior.
I inserted the string "Page # " in the footer
then I used the "Insert page number" feature.
When I print a selected range of pages, say 20 thru 25, I get the correct "Page #20, Page #21, Page #22, Page #23, Page #24, Page #25" at the bottom of the pages.
Of course, during the print task, the driver "tell me" that it is printing page 1, page 2 … but I am able to understand that it means "I'm printing the 1st asked page, the 2nd …"
