Did you use automatic page numbers?

I do not know. I did not set up the file initially. I purchased the software in order to do most things myself. While it is mostly simple to work with this has been frustrating. I assume it automatic page numbers where not turned on that I would have to do it manually?

You would have had to have added the page numbers on a master page using the current page marker.

A couple of suggestions for you.

1. Buy this book: http://amzn.to/ORQqtT

2. Check out Lynda.com. This link will get you a free one-week trial: http://bit.ly/fcGpiI

A screen shot showing the pages panel would be very helpful. You can embed an image in your posts by using the camera con on the web page, like this:

Dear Bob, while your suggestion is well received it will not help specifically address the problem that I have at this time. I have looked up tutorials on the specfic task that I need to do and I still do not totally understand it.

Dear Peter I have uploaded an image as you have requested. I also added annotations. I hope that you are someone else will be able to help.

If you delete page viii, pages ix, x, xi and xii should mve one position to the left and renumber, but you have a new section starting at page 1 after the current page xii, and that is not going to change. By default ID follows convention and keeps odd-numbered pages on the right, and to overcome that you need to disallow page shuffling for at least one spread and manually drag a page to the other side of the spine, which would be a big mistake, in my opinion. Readers are used to pages being numbered according to tradition.

That doesn't seem to be the only blank page in the front matter section. Perhaps you should consider removing two blanks there and adding one at the end of the doc to maintain the page count.
