Default Life without Section Breaks?

The fact remains, though, that the imposition of Continuous section breaks
-- or any other type -- neither inherently disrupts the continuity of
Headers or Footers, nor interferes with page numbering. Further, it makes
absolutely no difference whether the CSBs span a single empty paragraph or
multiple pages... or even whether there are several CSBs on a single page.


I very much disagree with you on this point. Try this: in a new document
header, add the page number code and set the page numbering to start at 22.
Add page breaks until you get to page 26. Add some text, select it, and make
it double column. Add a page break after the text. The next page number
shown will be 23.

The band-aid fix is to change 23 to 27. But later changes to the document
that cause section 3 to cross pages will bring the page number problem back.
The better fix is to go to the header for section 3 (& any later sections, as
appropriate) and set the page number start value to continuous.
The best "fix" is to understand that Word replicates section settings in new
sections and to fix it before leaving the page.
