Hi, Debby, I'll try and describe what I have in the document in question.
The page setup is in legal size, i.e., 14.5 by 8.5 inches. The prefatory
pages are okay. The trouble comes after page 1 which MS Word says is p. 7.
On p. 1 is just the title page of a novel called Jack the Giant-Killer.
After The title I hear "page break" then p. 8 in MS Word. In the printed
text I'm in p. 2 which has no text in it which I've noted by writing [This
page contains no text.] Then a couple of blank lines, then "page break" and
here MS Word says "p. 8" and immediately after that"p. 9". The text on this
page has quotations cited on it and the print page is p. 3. After that I
hear "page break" then "p. 9" and immediately after that "p. 10". This is p.
4 in the printed text and has no text on it which I noted by saying that the
page has no text (paraphrase of what I wrote above. In the actual file I
wrote [This page contains no text.].) Then there is a couple of blank lines
then "page break" then " p. 10" and "p. 11", then print p. 5 which is where
Chapter 1 starts. I hope what I've described to you makes sense. Regards,
Kim. P.S.: Does this bore you silly. I would call it exhausting since I had
to tab between this message I'm writing and the file. K.

Hi Kim!
You can delete an extraneous page break by just hitting delete on it. I
have had to do that a few times, either because there was an extra one or
the text on the following page didn't read well until I deleted that page's
page break and inserted a new one for some reason.
Also, have you set your page size to legal instead of letter? Perhaps page
10 is a soft page break? I'm not sure. Does it say "page break" then "page
10", or just "page 10"?
