I have a document in which foldout pages count as 2 pages. I would like to
manipulate the auto numbering provided by the {page} field. I would like to
automatically (in the sections with the foldout pages to have the page number
look like 1/2 and the next page be numbered 3/4). When I switch sections I
can fix the footer to go back to normal page numbers (e.g. the next 3 pages
might be numbered 5 6 7 etc) by manipulating the footer to take out the
additional increment.

Do you have any idea how to increment the page numbers in this manner?
 
In the fold out Sections, use the following field construction

{ = (2 * { Page }) - 1 }/{ = 2 * { Page } }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of Field Delimiters { } and use
Alt+F9 to toggle off their display. Use F9 or Print Preview to update the
field construction to show the result
