- The page numbering you describe is in a header or footer.
- Every section has three headers and three footers even if they are not used. These three are different; text in one does not change text in another.
- It sounds like you are using first-page and regular.
- Something put in the first-page header/footer shows up only on the first page of that section.
- If your first-page header/footer is linked to previous a change made in that section will show up in the previous section.
- The link-to-previous setting is specific to each kind of header/footer. Each section can have this set differently in six different locations.
