Restart page numbering in chapter

Wow, I even tried deleting everything in the document prior to Chapter 1, and
the page numbering in chapter 1 still started with 2-1.

problem with a StyleRef field rather than numbering, but a similar issue),
it turned out that the style had been applied to the end-of-cell marker in a
table. The actual table text was in a separate paragraph with a different
style (the user had pressed Enter at the end of the text, leaving the EOC
marker as an empty paragraph), so it was far from obvious.

When I select FormatStyles and Formatting, then right-click on Heading 1,

document. I only have three chapters, so an empty paragraphs or page break
may exist before "Chapter 1". How do I find it and delete it?

I wish I could send the document, but it's proprietary to my company

can't. I'm having the same problem with Appendix B. The page numbers
in
Appendix A are fine (A-1, A-2, etc), but the page numbers in Appendix
B
start
at A-1. I've followed Shana Kelly's suggestion to change the Chapter

The Chapter 1 title uses "Heading 1" style, and is preceded by a
section
titled "References and Drawings" which uses the "Title Centered"
style.
There is a page number and section break (next page) between them,
but
deleting either or both didn't help. I didn't see any empty
paragraphs
between the sections.

In the Page Number Format dialogue box, the "chapter starts with

is
Heading 1.

I forgot to mention I'm using Word 2003.

I have a document with several chapters, each seperated by

The page numbering starts over in all chapters but one. the
numbering
is
2-1,
2-2, 3-1, etc.

The chapter that won't restart is Chapter 1, which follows some
frontmatter.
The frontmatter page numbers are numbered correctly (i, ii,
iii,
etc).
The
first page of Chapter 1 begins with 2-1 instead of 1-1. I have
section

I've opened the footer in Chapter 1 that contains the page

Any help would be much appreciated.

If you can obfuscate the proprietary info and send me the doc, I'll take a
look (FWIW, I never pay any attention to the content of docs I look at,
anyway).

It looks like the problem is within the number for the first chapter. Chapter
1 looks like this:

1. Test Description & Conditions

When I delete everything in the document in front of the chapter title, the
page number remains 2-1. When I delete "Test Description & Conditions", the
page number doesn't change. It's when I delete "1.", that the page number
changes to 1-1 (which is correct). My chapters have to be numbered, though,
so how can I work around this?

I need my chapter numbering, page numbering, and TOC to be correct.

I fixed it!!

I double-clicked on the chapter # to open the Bullets and Numbering dialogue
box, went into customize, and toggled the Start at from 1 to 2 and back to 1,
and clicked OK. That made the page number for chapter 1 to change from 2-1 to
1-1.

Weird, but it worked!
