I'm trying to change page numbers to start with new chapter numbers ex:
chapter 2, 2-1-3 and in chapter 3, 3-1-5, chapter 4, 4-1-7, etc. I insert
the section page to start new page, but chapter 5, 5-1, names two pages 5-1.
This is awful. I'm trying to understand some of the other posts...

It is not really clear what you want.

2-1-3

It is obvious that 2 is the chapter number obtained by use of the {
SECTION } field.

Is the 1 the first page in that chapter?

Is the 3 the number of that page in the document?

If the latter is the case, you should leave the page numbers as continuing
from the previous section and to get the 1, you will need to insert a
bookmark at the end of each Section - I would use Section1 as the name for
the boomark at the end of Section 1 and Section2 for that at the end of
Section 2, etc. Then to get the number 1 on the first page of each section,
you are going to have to use the following types of construction:

For Section 2

{ = { PAGE } - { PAGEREF Section1 } }

For Section 3

{ = { PAGE } - { PAGEREF Section2 } }

etc

Your full numbering field will be

{ SECTION }-{ = { PAGE } - { PAGEREF Section1 } }-{ PAGE }
