I’ve had this problem before (I knew those archives were good for something), but I’m still not sure I understand it. I’m trying to change the page numbering in an MS Word document. When I tell Word to start the numbering at 142, it starts at 143. When I think maybe I canl trick it by starting at 141, it starts at 141. Why will it only start where I want it to when that isn’t where I want it to start?

Having typed this, I realize, of course, that I’m going to be lumping this together with three other files and will no longer need separate page numbering for each. So it’s sort of moot. But it’s still strange.
