Right click on the page number field and select 'Fields'.  A window comes up 
with the option to set the type of numbering, 123, ABC etc, and a field for the 
offset.  It's in the offset I try to change the page number.

Actually I have a master document with 67 sub-documents.  What I'm doing now is 
dividing that MD into four roughly equal parts for the final revision, so that 
I have manageable portions to edit at one time.

Merci Michele.  I'll take a look at that.
