Default How do I get consecutive page numbers in all sections of a Wor

I'd be willing to bet that where the numbers start back at one, you have a
section break just prior. Look at the bottom left of the screen. You'll see
"Page X Section X X/XXX" Where X is any number. As you scroll through the
doc and pass a section break, the section number will change. Check your
"continue from..." setting on first page after the break. Have the "show
all" function on so you can see the section breaks also.

Thanks for the reply. I have gone to the "format page number" button and
changed all but the first section to "continue from the previous section"
button and I still have the page numbers that start over after about one
fourth of the way in the document.

Thanks,

John

On the "header/footer" toolbar that you get when you double click in the
footer, click on the "format page number" button. Then click the button that
says "continue from previous section". That'll do ya.

I am creating a manual that has different sections that are not sequential.
1, 2, 10 11, 12, 16 etc. I have tried to make the footers all "same as
previous section", but when I put in a auto page number reference in the
first section the numbering does not follow into the next section.

Other non changeable areas do continue throughout the footers for the
document.

Thanks,
