I have recently created a book in InDesign with 5 four-page documents in it.

Right now I have the 1st document set to 'Start Page Numbering' on page 7.

So, the first document is pages 7-10. And the following documents are in order, 11-14, 15-18, etc…

When I use the Book palette and open the 'Document Numbering Options…' for the first document and I tell the pages to start with page 9, instead of 7, that document updates the page numbering.

However the page numbering in the following documents does not update. I have made sure to select 'Continue from Previous Document'  in the Book Page Numbering Options preferences, and also selected update all Page numbers.

Why won't the page numbering update in all of the documents in the Book?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
