Page Numbering

I have a 52 page document. However, when I go to page numbering and tell it to start on page 3 it does, but once it reaches page 15, instead of putting the next number 16, it puts in 17 and it does this in a couple of different sections.

I have deleted all headers, footers and now when I call up my document, page 1 & 2 are not 41 & 42 but page 3 through 15 are fine but once it gets to page 16, it puts in page 17. What is wrong here, can anyone help, I really need this to teach my Sunday School Class and I need to print 15 copies of this.

Thank you most kindly;

I suspect continuous section breaks.

When troubleshooting, click your Show/Hide button and
change to View/Normal. This will allow you to see
things, such as continuous section breaks, that may be
causing problems in your document. Once you can see
them, you can delete them.

You probably have an extra section break that you
can't "see". Try putting the doc into normal view (View
menu) and look for a section break (probably continuous)
just after the page marked page 15. Make sure you can see
the footers so you can tell what's happening (View menu).
