I am working on a 75 page document. I have about 7 sections (A thru
H).

I am using Parent (updating the date)and Child Master pages for each
section.

Each section has an auto page number such at A-1, A-2, A-3 and so on
for each section. I have the page numbers reset on each section, so
Section B will read B-1, B-2, B-3. I did this by using the "numbering
& sections options" for the different sections. In the Section Prefix,
I put "A-" as well. I have checked "include prefix when numbering
pages"
This will allow more pages to be added without having to worry about
page numbers.

So this was great until today when the client asked that we also
include and ABSOLUTE page numbering system as well, regardless of
section, so page B-1 should also say the absolute page such as 10 or
whatever it is.

I can't figure out how to do both using the auto page numbering system.
I really don't wan to do it manually.

Any Suggestions or tips?
