designating seperate settings (even & odd pages, first page omitted) for header and footer?

[xhgrrr]

Hello, I am trying to lay up a book manuscript and I'm having trouble with the headers and footers. If I set up the header to alternate between author's name on even pages and title on odd pages, it is deleting the page numbers from every other page. Similarly, when I use a section page break at chapters to eliminate the header on those pages, it is also deleting the page numbers. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks for your help!
