Problem with Page number in status bar

[Guest]

The status bar in a document says:
Page 2 SEC 1 1/3

I am at the very top of the document as you can tell by 1/3
but it is saying page 2. When I insert page numbers it classifies page 1 as
2, 2 as 3 etc.
I gather it is pulling that from the Page 2.
How can I reset so that the status bar will indicate I am on Page 1 Sec 1
1/3 and the page numbers will print correctly?

On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Format Page Number and set it to
"Continue from previous section." Also, make sure that the section start
type is not Even Page (Layout tab of Page Setup).

I had to use both of the solutions above to get this document back to
normal... Thanks!
