Page numbering in Word basically does what you have told it to do. If the
numbering is wrong, it's because the settings are wrong. You must look at
the Format Page Number dialog in each section (even those that may be
trapped in the middle of pages) to make sure that they either restart or
continue as needed. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm for more.

I am trying to paginate a document in Word 2003.
I want the pagination to ignore the cover page--I put a Page Section Break
after the Cover Page.
I then want the TOC in roman numerals starting with i. Got that OK
Then a section break so that the body of the document can start at 1. I
have some columns which require section breaks on page 1 (only 2)
The numbers are in the footer and I used the {PAGE} and tried plain old
page
numbering.
Here is what happens.
Page 1 is Page 1 it then skips to Page 6 (section 6) a few pages later,
more
skips without any section breaks in between. The numbers change again
later
on, including once where it goes to a lower number! I try to delete the
footers and start from scratch and the same thing happens. I try
unlinking
and then linking to previous. Same crazy numbering. And I don't see any
section breaks.
How do I fix this?
What gives with this software? Hasn't MS had time to fix it? I have spent
over an hour and a half on this and I'm really frustrated.
