Default Handling page numbers in sections of a template

I'm creating a template in Word 2007 that is set to paper size 8.5x11. It has
4 sections with different footers & page numbers (cover, letterhead, TOC,
main body).

Users of the template will sometimes have to insert a spreadsheet that is
sized 11x17 in the main body, but not in a consistent place.

My thought is to teach them how to insert 2 section breaks and then change
the size of one page/section to be 11x17. When you do that, though, the page
numbering starts over at 1.

Is there a way to force the page numbers to stay consistent throughout the
main body, no matter where they insert a section break? Or is there a better
way to teach them to insert an 11x17 spreadsheet?

Thanks very much.
