Thanks.

I sort of have it working. That is, setting the page number on the
break works - for a few minutes. After adding more text it suddenly
decides that page numbering for the second section should revert to
absolute page number. I can set the page numbering to 1 for the new
section, but it doesn't 'stick."

When it fails to 'stick" I go back, delete the section break, re-enter
the section break, setting the page number to zero again, and start
over. It stays for a while, then suddenly it forgets the special page
numbering for the second section and I have to do it all over again.

This is on OOo 3.01 Ubuntu.

It would be a great solution if it really worked. :(
