Dear mr Paul
Thanks for providing a link. I created sections which is crucial for numbering pages.
It really worked.

Dear mr Paul
This is in continuation of the thread.

Auto page numbering works fine if it is a single document,

I copied the page numbered document to another document. When done I find page 1 has been changed to 8. That is the previous document now has 7 pages. How to retain the page number as 1.

Thanks

The same technique...

Use the Page Number Format dialog box to change the starting page number, or set it to "Continue from previous section," whichever option suits your new document.
