page numbering of a master document restarts from 1 at every chapter

I have written a book of collected articles which I grouped in a master document. All articles are based on the same template as master document itself. Every article starts with a First page style and a HEADING 1.
I have written other books, with different templates, and never had this problem.
This time I do not seem able to have a continuous page numbering; for the first page of a new chapter at the very bottom line of the odm I find for instance
Page 7 of 660 (page 1)
ant then at the next one:
page 11 of 660 (page 1)
Obviously the index starts all the chapters at 1
please help as I was not able to find a solution online.

Hi

In the master document, verify the Heading 1 paragraph style▸Text Flow tab▸BreaksPage Number: must be 0 to have continuous numbering.
