Complicated page numbering!

No, I have tried that, unfortunately because I am resetting the page number at the start of the main report and the appendices are number A1, A2, B1, B2 so the \lastpage gives "Page 10 of B2" for example.

What I need is a way of getting the total number of pages. I was thinking about maybe some ...

Using the \usepackage{helvet} command I can change all text to helvitica font but this doesn't change the section headings as well. I have got around this by using \sffamily for each heading but there must be a better way ...

New page using \section

Does anyone know how you can effectively write

\newpage
\section{new section}

by just saying
\section{new section}

i.e. Assigning a command that automatically creates a page break whenever you create a new section.

Thanks.
