Default Handling page numbers in sections of a template

Kathy wrote:
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.


The next step is to format the page number to continue from the previous
section both in the 11x17 section and the one after. For any section breaks
after these two, the numbers should be continuous. --Word repeats settings
from the previous (like) header/footer in the new one. Because you
restarted the numbering for your main section, they are being restarted in
the next section break.

Is there a way to force the page numbers to stay consistent throughout the
main body, no matter where they insert a section break? You might look into developing a macro that will do all of that with one button click. But users should know how to do it by hand anyway.
