how paginate consecutively while keeping chapters in separ..

I am preparing a book for publication. The publisher wants the ms. numbered
consecutively but the chapters in separate files. I tried renumbering each
file but didn't work right.

While in the Format Page Number dialog, you can set the starting number, I
can see that it could well create problems as the way in which pages are
laid out (and hence the number of pages in a chapter) may vary depending
upon the printer upono which the document is printed.

I would have expected that if the publisher wanted the book in that format,
then during the process of compiling the chapters into a book, he would be
taking care of the page numbering.
