Page numbering - repeating page numbers

by Rasiel Suarez
(Olympia, WA)

I am writing a book in Word 2007. The page numbering goes well for long runs then suddenly "goes whack" and will start getting errors with either repeating the previous page number or a number well out of range.

I believe the problem is related to the section breaks I've manually inserted to accommodate multiple columns in certain places. Sometimes the numbering doesn't get messed up. Sometimes.

How do I force the document to place the correct page number without me having to take out the section breaks (if that is in fact what is tripping them up)?
