Dear Takamitsu, At most, as it seems, you can set a variable in the header to keep track of the -- i.e., one at a time -- current section number on each (odd, if you choose so) page. See Figures 152 and 154 and the corresponding explanations in the NWP Help file ("Using Automatic Numbers, Date & Time Variables and Document Properties in Headers and Footers", p.158).
