A good start is to display nonprinting characters (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm). You can also use
Find to search for a given style, and that might easily find it, or you can
use the Browse buttons to Browse by Heading. In a previous case (which was a
problem with a StyleRef field rather than numbering, but a similar issue),
it turned out that the style had been applied to the end-of-cell marker in a
table. The actual table text was in a separate paragraph with a different
style (the user had pressed Enter at the end of the text, leaving the EOC
marker as an empty paragraph), so it was far from obvious.

When I select FormatStyles and Formatting, then right-click on Heading 1,
and click "Select all 4 instance(s)", only three are highlighted in the
document. I only have three chapters, so an empty paragraphs or page break
may exist before "Chapter 1". How do I find it and delete it?

I applied heading 6 to the appendix titles and the page numbers in the
appendix now work great! Thank you!
Now I just have to get Chapter 1 to start out as 1-1 instead of 2-1...

Did you include Heading 6 as part of your outline numbering scheme?

I wish I could send the document, but it's proprietary to my company
and I
can't. I'm having the same problem with Appendix B. The page numbers
in
Appendix A are fine (A-1, A-2, etc), but the page numbers in Appendix
B
start
at A-1. I've followed Shana Kelly's suggestion to change the Chapter
Starts
with Style box to choose Heading 6.

The Chapter 1 title uses "Heading 1" style, and is preceded by a
section
titled "References and Drawings" which uses the "Title Centered"
style.
There is a page number and section break (next page) between them,
but
deleting either or both didn't help. I didn't see any empty
paragraphs
between the sections.
In the Page Number Format dialogue box, the "chapter starts with
style"
is
Heading 1.
I forgot to mention I'm using Word 2003.

If the style used for the chapter numbering is part of an
outline-numbered
list, make sure you don't have any lower-level heads preceding
"Chapter
1."
Also check to make sure that you don't have any empty paragraphs
or
page
breaks before "Chapter 1" formatted with the heading style it
uses.

I have a document with several chapters, each seperated by
section
breaks.
The page numbering starts over in all chapters but one. the
numbering
is
2-1,
2-2, 3-1, etc.
The chapter that won't restart is Chapter 1, which follows some
frontmatter.
The frontmatter page numbers are numbered correctly (i, ii,
iii,
etc).
The
first page of Chapter 1 begins with 2-1 instead of 1-1. I have
section
breaks
before and after the chapter. All of the other chapters restart
the
numbering
correctly except this one.
I've opened the footer in Chapter 1 that contains the page
number
and
changed the page number setting to "start at 1", but this
doesn't
help.
"Link
to previous" is not selected.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy
