Re: Page Numbering is not right

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

How did you restart the page number? If you inserted a section break at the
end of the third page (so that the paginated pages are in a separate
section), do the following: Activate the header/footer area, for example via
View | Header and Footer. Press Alt+F9 to show field codes; Page X of Y
would display as Page { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES }. Change NUMPAGES to
SECTIONPAGES. Press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 again to hide the field
codes.

I am using Word 2003
I have a long document, beginning with a title page, 2 pages of TOC, and
with Text beginning on actual page #4 for a total of 24 pages. I have a
header beginning on page 4 that containes "page # of total pages" code. I
told Word that page 4 is now page one (1). Which should make the page
number
read "page 1 of 21", but I am getting "page 1 of 24".

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? How can I correct this
page numbering? Help please ASAP. I am suppose to turn this in today.
