The status bar in a document says:
Page 2 SEC 1 1/3

I am at the very top of the document as you can tell by 1/3
but it is saying page 2. When I insert page numbers it classifies page 1
as
2, 2 as 3 etc.
I gather it is pulling that from the Page 2.
How can I reset so that the status bar will indicate I am on Page 1 Sec 1
1/3 and the page numbers will print correctly?
