The Name property of pages is a string that concatenates the section prefix and the page number. So if, for instance, you had a section with a prefix of "chapter 2:" which contained a page numbered 5, you could access that page with either of these lines:

myDoc.Pages.Item("chapter 2:5")
myDoc.Pages.Item("chapter 2:" & 5)

The default section prefix is blank, so in default, one-section documents the name is usually just the page number as a string.

Note that if you have the page numbering style set to something other than arabic numerals, the page name reflects this setting. If you had the style set to lowercase roman numerals, then the name of the page above would be "chapter 2:v"
