Glad I could help.

Probably you weren't looking at the correct section at your first
attempt. If you were using the Next and Previous buttons (on the
Header and Footer toolbar), the cursor didn't necessarily move to a
new section, since a section can have up to three different headers
(and footers).

I'm trying to insert page nos. into a document that is in
portrait
then
landscape then portrait. The page numbering is ok from portrait
to
landscape
but when the document changes back to portrait the page number
goes
from the
previous portrait section. Any ideas? Puzzlingly, the overall
no.
of pages
is correct.
