Well, you'd be better off not using the Insert | Page Numbers feature, which
inserts numbers in a frame (not a text box). Insert them in the
header/footer itself instead. Working in the header/footer pane, using the
Header and Footer toolbar, makes it easier to deal with individual sections
and use Format Page Number to ensure that pagination is continuous. It
sounds as if you are restarting page numbering at 11 in each section. Or it
could be that numbering is restarting at 1, but you've got a 1 typed in
front of the PAGE field.

No matter how I try to edit it and copy the contents to a new document,
the
sequence of the page numbers gets mixed up. I have a header set up and
want
the page numbers to be shown in a particular place. So I take the text
box
that contains the page number after setting it up and locate it into my
header, adjust the font, size, etc. When I close the header window, the
pages
now are set. I've done it for dozens of documents, but one in particular
just does not seem to budge. The sequence looks somehting like this:
11,12,13,14,15,12,13,14,15,16,17...etc). What do I do? How do I adjust
this
problem?
