The RD field always worked for me, too.

As I recall, we set up a "book file" that looked something like this:

  Title page
  ------------------section break------------------
  Copyright page
  ------------------section break------------------
  ...any other front matter...
  ------------------section break------------------
  { TOC \o }
  ------------------section break------------------
  { RD preface.doc }
  ------------------section break------------------
  { RD chap01.doc }
  ------------------section break------------------
  { RD chap02.doc }
  ------------------section break------------------
  ...any other chapters and appendices...
  ------------------section break------------------
  { INDEX \c 2 \h "A" }

Putting the section breaks in the "book file" (rather than the individual chapter files) gave us the greatest success over page number continuity, header and footer content, and other section-related features.
