I'm not explaining clearly.

In Section 3 there are 2 continuous breaks in the middle of the page and
footer shows the correct page number as 10
The next page shows that it is section 5 and the page number in the footer
is 2.
The page 1 is totally missing and it is jumping section 4.

I did a search as you suggested but it was not found.
THANKS for your help.

Section 4 is not "missing"; it's just not accessible from the
header/footer
because it's in the middle of a page. Place the insertion point between
the
Continuous breaks that define Section 4 and use Format Page Number. This
is
easy if you have Word 2007 (it is directly accessible from the Ribbon).
In
an earlier version, use Insert | Page Numbers | Format. Change numbering
to
"Continue from previous section," OK, Close.

My document goes from Section 3 to Section 5. The early section break
types
are Next Page but later in the doc there are some continuous breaks
where
graphics have been inserted. Due to missing Section 4, the page
numbering
is
not sequential.
How to fix!
