If you want to get rid of the "chapter/page" page numbers, clear the "Chapter starts with style" option in the Page Number Format dialog box, for each Word section. Then update the table of contents.

Thanks for your reply Stefan. Your suggestion isn't what I wanted to accomplish (What I want is for the pages to appear like all the Chapter 2 pages here: http://i.imgur.com/GLqbzzk.png), but after playing with the page number format page, I realized that that window only affects the "active" chapter you have selected. I thought that window, if you changed it, affected the entire document, but it only affects your "current" chapter selected. This is why when I was changing it earlier (I probably had chapter 1 or 2 active at the time), that window was not producing the results I wanted.

Basically, the culprit was "Chapter starts with Style:" option. Once I modified that on chapter 3, it was fine.

Indeed, the Page Number Format dialog box is section-specific, which isn't at all obvious in the user interface. In addition, the settings for a caption label apply to the whole document (which may add to the confusion).
