In my document I have 19 pages. The numbering goes from 1-11, skips 12, and
then goes from 13-20? Any suggestions?

Turn on nonprinting characters (click the ¶ button) and look at the boundary
between pages 11 and 13 for a section break.

If you find one there, it may be an Odd Page break; if so, it may be there
to change other section properties, such as margins. In that case, put the
cursor on page "13". Go to File Page Setup Layout, change the section
start to "New page", and click OK.

If it's a Next Page section break, then the following section may be set
explicitly to start on page 13. To change that, put the cursor on page "13".
Go to View Header and Footer. With the cursor now in the header, the
Header & Footer toolbar should be visible. Click the Format Page Number
button on the toolbar. At the bottom of the resulting dialog, if the page
number isn't set to "Continue from previous section", click that option and
click OK.

I have the exact problem and checked the Layout and it is already set to "New
Page". However, when I change the Header/Footer to "Continue from pervious
section" the problem resolves itself. The issue now is that I don't want it
to continue numbering from the previous section as this section starts a TOC
and I want lower case Roman numerals. Any suggestions?

Whether the page numbers are continuous from the previous section or start with
a different number has _nothing_ to do with how the numbers are displayed,
whether Roman or Arabic.

The Roman vs. Arabic display is set by a switch in the {PAGE} field in the
header or footer. If you include the \*Roman switch, the numbers will be upper
case Roman numerals; if you include \*roman they'll be lower case roman
numerals. If you include the \*arabic switch or omit the switch completely,
they'll be digits.

I'm afraid I was not very clear in my response. The problem is that when
there is a section break between the body and the TOC, as therer need it to
be, there is a blank page. I have checked the "page setup, layout" and all
sections are set to "New Page". The problem is that when the numbering format
in section 2 is set to
"Start At" the blank page appears. If I change it to "Continue from previous
section" the blank page disappears. Any thoughts?

It still isn't clear, but let me describe what I think is happening, and you
tell me whether it's correct...

You have section 1 containing the TOC, starting (by default) with page 1 and
with the page numbers displayed as roman numerals. At the end of section 1
is a Next Page section break.

In section 2 you want to restart the page numbers with 1, now showing arabic
numerals.

Correct so far?

Now the big guess: Section 1 contains an odd number of pages, ending on page
iii or v or some odd page number. Is that correct?

If so, then there is no simple way to avoid a blank page because Word
insists on placing odd-numbered pages (in this case, page iii in section 1
and page 1 in section 2) on right-hand pages. There must be an even-numbered
page between the sections (iv or 0) that will be blank. When you make the
page numbering continue from the previous section, the first page of section
2 takes the even number (4) so there is no blank.

You could try faking out Word by starting the numbering of section 2 at page
0, and then replacing the {PAGE} fields with the calculated field {= {PAGE}
+ 1}. That would get rid of the blank while showing the page numbers you
want. The problem is that now the TOC will show the wrong page numbers, and
there's no way to fix that.
