please make sure that the Inspector is open, then click somewhere onto your page (for example page 3), NOT in the footer. Go to the Inspector and chose/edit Layout->Section and there "Continue from previos section" or "Start at:".
The important thing is, you can not edit these entries, when your cursor is in the footer.
Now your inserted pagenumbers should do the right thing.
Thank you. It seems to be working, although seemd to be more complicated than it needs to be!
This is flexibility, not being unnecessarily complicated.
For example, if I create a document using the blank template and insert a page number, it applies this to every page, even if I have multiple sections. I guess you weren't using the blank template though.
I'd also guess that you were using a template that had multiple sections with page numbering turned off for one or more sections. For example, a report with a covering page, where page numbering is turned off for the covering page.
Imagine if page numbers were automatically added to every page, ignoring sections, etc. I'm sure this simplicity wouldn't be regarded as simplicity, but probably thoughtless design by Apple engineers.
