I would guess that you have the pagination reset in the first page of 
each document, otherwise OOo automatically paginates the entire 
document.  If you have a manual page break before each sub-document and 
reset the pagination (anything other than "0") or set the "page break 
before" and reset the page numbering in your definition of the Chapter 
Heading style, you will get what you describe.  Please review these in 
the template to make sure you are not resetting pagination with each 
document.
