Microsoft word footer page numbering problem in my thesis

I'm writing my phd thesis in microsord word and the page numbering is messed up. On some pages the number style is different to others, e.g. "page 1 of 10" on some pages and "1" on others and "1-1" on others. These are styles i have used but changed throughout the creation of the document. I have removed all page and section breaks and linked all footers to the previous one. When this didn't work, I went through and manually altered every page footer style (all 300 of them...). Now my problem is that the table of contents and figure list still display the different page styles, even after deleting and recreating the tables, and updating all fields within the document. Please help as i dont know what to try next!
