Don't use Insert Page number for this. Edit the headers and footers. You
need to be in header and footer view to do this (which is a variant of print
layout view).

Look into using the StyleRef field.

I did get the chapter and page numbering correctly, i.e., 17.1.
However, it ended up on the top of the page when I want it centered at the
bottom of each page. I tried changing header to footer while in the print
layout but when I closed the header/footer box it disappeared!? and was
still
at the top.
Note: I keep each chapter in a different file.

Applying the available instructions has not helped me to do the above.
I
would like to use this format: 17.1 I want chapter to remain the same
&
page
numbers to change.
