Problem with "Next page" section break automatically turning into "Odd or Even Page"

[c_gallagher25]

I'm trying to format a document that uses "Next Page" section breaks because we have different footers for each section of the document. However, I noticed that some of the section breaks are labelled as "Odd Page" section breaks which is messing up the page numbering of the document (e.g. jumping from page 17 to page 19). When I try to edit these "Odd Page" section breaks to normal "Next Page" ones, Office simply ignores my change and keeps them as "Odd Page" ones. Is there a simple fix to this, or do I have to re-do my page numbers for each section in order to maintain their accuracy?
