Instead of changing the PAGE fields manually, modify the Footer paragraph
style or (if you want only the page numbers changed while the rest of the
footer stays 10-point) the Page Number character style.

Hello again, Suzanne, I've been doing a lot of work, it looked for a while
as though I had all the page numbers working in the footers, so I went on
to entering all my Chapter names in the headers. Then I came back and
decided I want my page numbers to be 12 pt instead of 10 pt (which I guess
may be your default), so I opened the right-page odd-number footer and
reformatted the number "1." That seemed to work alright, so I then went
to the left-page even-number footer and tried to change "2" the same way.
It didn't work, or rather it did work, but now I have the number 2 on
every left-hand page in the 700 pages of this book. The right-hand pages
seem to be numbered correctly.
I've looked at some of the extensive material on page numbers under your
Help system but so far can't seem to find anything to cover this.
Once again, I suspect there's a simple answer, but I just can't figure it
out.
So once again I'd be most grateful for your help...
Thanks in advance!
