Default Insert page numbers and keeping them in sequence

I am having tons of problems with Word 2007 inserting page # on a 8 page
file. It does the 1st 4 pages perfectly then starts over with page 2 on the
rest of the doc. Help! How do I make it stop starting the page 2?

Default Insert page numbers and keeping them in sequence

It would only do that for the following reasons:

1. You have a SectionBreak in you document and in the second Section, the
page numbers are formatted to start from 2 rather that to be continued from
the previous Section. To change that, with the selection after the fourth
page, form the Insert tab of the Ribbon, click on the pull-down for Page
Number in the Header & Footer section of the Ribbon and select the Format
Page Numbers item and check the radio button for Continue from previous
section.

2. You have a Field Construction that is subtracting 3 from the
pagenumber if the number is greater than 4

{ IF { PAGE } 4 { = { PAGE } - 3 } { PAGE } }

Press Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of the field codes and if you see
something like this, replace it with

{ PAGE }

The { } must be inserted using Ctrl+F9.

Hope this helps.
