Page Numbering problem in Word

[Astrodome]

Can anyone help, please.

I have found that when inserting page numbers in Word, there appears to be some sort of default setting which is throwing my page numbering out of sequence.

I use the option "Page of Pages"

The problem occurs when I insert a section break in order to set out a Landscape page.

The Section Break option automatically selects "Even Page" every time.

The result is that if the landscape page would be an odd number, say page 37, Word numbers it 38.

I have tried every possible option I can see, from selecting "Odd Page" to selecting "Continuous Break".

All this to no avail.

Whatever I do the section break returns to "Even Page" and I thus 'lose' a page in the numbering system.

In order to save my sanity and prevent a computer passing through a closed window (!) can anyone suggest a solution ?

I guess you are using autotext to select page of pages.

What happens when you enter just the page number?

If that works OK try it in header and footer. If thats OK add your own separator and add number of pages from the header footer menu.
