section numbering problem

[henry boonstra]

I have a document with a table of contents, 9 sections,
and 7 appendixs. The numbering system goes. 1-1, 1-2,
ect. for section one and 2-1, 2-2, ect. for section 2. The
number is good up until I get to sections 6 thru 9. They
all start back at 5-1, 5-2, ect. The Appendixs all are
numbered correctly also. All the section breaks are there
and I can't figure out how to fix this problem. Can
somebody please help me?

First of all, try using CTRL+Q on the problem paragraphs,
which resets their paragraph formatting to that of the
applied paragraph style(s), to see if that fixes the
numbering. Otherwise, you might have to set up numbering
again, following the instructions at:

An additional comment... Since you are also using
appendixes, you might be interested in an article about
appendix numbering as well:

I'm sorry I didn't specify that it was a page numbering
problem. The document itself is right just the page
numbering is wrong.

So your page numbers are in the format "x-y". Where does
the "x" part come from?

Are you talking about page numbering or paragraph numbering?
And which styles or fields are you using for this numbering?
