If you are using the SECTION field, then 2 is correct, since the section
after the first section break IS Section 2.
If you've used "Include chapter number" and applied autonumbering to the
heading style that's being picked up by the page number, then this is a
different issue. Sometimes an empty paragraph before the heading (possibly
even before the section break) will pick up the numbering format and be
counted as the first numbered heading. If your heading is numbered, does the
actual h heading numbering start with 1 or 2?

I have a problem with my sections. I have a report with about 6 sections
and
a table of contents in the beginning. I put my first section break after
the
table of contents, and I want the first section and each section after
that
to have page numbers with both the section and page number, but the first
section page numbers always say page 2-1 instead of page 1-1. The second
section and subsequent sections read correctly. I can't figure out why
the
page numbers and captions don't read correctly because I changed the
format
in the bullets menu to start at Section 1. Anyways, a little help would
be
great.
