Yes, usually I would agree but in this case, the layouts of the different
documents are so different.
Perhaps if I were starting from 'scratch', it may be possible to create
styles to cover all the items but Heading 1, say, in Document 1 is very
different from in the other documents, particularly in the paragraph
following Heading 1, similarly Heading 2 and Heading 3, etc.
Sorry I can't explain very well but, presumably, it is not then possible to
update the page numbers in the footers as I needed?

It is not something that can be done without using some Visual Basic (VBA)
Code
If you have each of the individual documents in a separate section in the
assembled document, with the page numbers of each section formatted to start
at 1, and after assembling the document, you run the following macro:
Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count - 1
.Variables("Section" & i & "pages").Value =
.Sections(i).Range.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
Next i
End With
And starting with Section 2, you have the following field construction where
you want the page number to appear
{ = { DOCVARIABLE Section1Pages } + { PAGE } }
where you change the 1 to 2 in Section 3 and so on, then, we the fields in
the document are updated by doing a print preview or printing the document,
the page numbers should be continuous throught the document

I tried that but it still leaves the problem that, as the separate documents
were based on different templates, the formatting gets messed up when they
are assembled.

As I said before, one would expect consistent formatting throughout such a
document and if
proper use was made of styles, combining them all into one should not be an
issue.
