Why are my page numbers not updating?

Sometimes the page numbers in the designer can get slightly mixed up after you've rearranged pages or added new ones. The designer view is just a quick rendering of your contents, not the final print file. 

Next to your pages, there will be a button labelled Refresh/Re-Render Page. This should update the page to reflect the latest page order, numbers, and any other changes.

You might also want to generate proofs of your book to check the page numbers. Click "preview and order" at the top of the page and following the steps. The numbers will be correct in your print ready files.

    I have added a page to continue a recipe that is longer than expected. I have used the pages required to continue but instead of it continuing the previous page numbers it is starting again from 1. If I want it to continue from number 10 onwards how do i fix this?
