How to change page numbering in a subsequent chapter doc after adding pages to a previous chapter?

[rschlegel]

I have a large book with facing pages and multiple chapters. The page numbering is set to automatically generate each page number in the top margin. I hid the page number from the first (title) page of each chapter. After creating all chapters, I needed to add 2 pages to the end of chapter 16. Now, I need to make chapter 17 begin (and follow through) with a different page number. I tried editing thee forst page number at File/Document Setup/Start Page #,  but this did not seem to change anything. 

How do I change the page numbering to the subsequent chapter 17?

Do I also need to manually change the number of pages to chapter 16?

Is page numbering set to automatic in the Numbering & Section Options window?

I solved the problem! 

I had to right-click on the first (numbered) page of chapter 17, and select the Numbering and Sections Options item. It is in this context that I was able to change it.

Yes, it is.
