Alison,

Make all your numbering settings in the Book window, *not* in the 
individual files.  Book settings override file settings (that's why you 
get the warning message).

The reason to work in the book window is this: Files can be used and 
printed individually, or they can be assembled in any order into any 
number of different books.  Only the Book window "knows" the order of 
the files in that particular book and therefore how the pages should be 
numbered in relation to each other.

best,
