I have a document with several sections. I want to introduce a new numbering after specific continuous section breaks starting at 1, but it won't work. So say that I am at page 34 and I want to introduce a section break between page 34 and 35, and restart what was before page 35, now as page 1. Well, this doesn't work and starts always at 2. The problem persists, independently of checking or unchecking the 'first different page' option. The problem also happens when, for instance, if instead of wanting to start what was before 35, now I want it to be page 36. The same problem occurs, and instead of 36, appears as 37.

Use a Next-Page section break, not a continuous one.
Here are two references on Sections and Section Breaks.
