Cannot force page #

[Guest]

Section 3 (used Next Page break) of my document are portrait pages of a
report,
Section 4 (used Next Page break) is one landscape page (page 35) with a
graph,
Section 5 is supposed to resume my document to portrait and continue with
the page numbering at 36.

However, Word makes it page 37. I have tried putting in another another
Section break (Next Page) and forcing page numbering of 36 manually onto one
page (Section 5), and then putting in another Section 6 to resume page
numbering on page 37 but Word changes my Next Page Section break to an Odd
Page Section break. And still will not number sequentially from 37.

Also, it has added a ' to the after the page number (in the page number text
box); I cannot delete the '. What is going on with that?

Any ideas on what I can do to get it to page number sequentially?

This site has saved me many times before when I read other people's
posts...hopefully someone can help me...

TIA,
klam

After spending hours on this and lurking other posts, I posted for some heip,
but...

Thx to an excellent article by Suzanne S. Barnhill. (she has saved me more
than a couple of times now!! thx a mint Suzanne!) I figured this out.

The article I referenced was Word printing "blank" pages (mine was a forced
Odd Break that Word kept changing). I don't know if I'm allowed to link to
the article here, so if you are interersted just search for "blank pages" and
you will see it referenced in other posters' replies.

cheers,
klam

Word has changed your Next Page break to Odd Page to accommodate the
printer. With the insertion point on page 37, go to the Layout tab of Page
Setup and change the section start back to Next Page.
