How can I reset page number in a Page field in the middle of doc?

I am trying to create a template where the page numbers reset in the middle
of a document. I need to use a Page field to hold the page number. Is there a
way to reset the page number with a switch or something?

Thanks

Insert a Section break (Insert > Break... > New Page) where you want the
numbering to restart. Make sure the cursor is in this new section.
Insert > Page Numbers... > Format button > Start At: 1

Thanks Jean-Guy. I had tried that but it didn't work.

I am sorry Jim, but if you tried exactly as I described and it didn't work,
then you did something wrong.
(Are you sure you are using a {PAGE} field? Do ALT-F9 and look at your page
numbers, post what you see. Don't forget to do ALT-F9 to toggle back to
field values instead of codes.)

Can you post back with all the steps you took (including the menus/commands
you used)?
