Default sections and page numbers

To get the pages to be continuously numbered, run a macro containing the
following code:

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 2 To .Sections.Count
.Sections(i).Footers(1).PageNumbers.RestartNumberi ngAtSection =
False
Next i
End With

I have a document that does not keep continuous page numbers. It
restarts the numbering between sections. Also, the sections are not
numerically continuous, ie one footer lists section 4 and the next
header is section 6, no 5.

If anyone could clarify what the issue is it would be appreciated.

I just got back to this document after being away. I forgot to mention
this is Word 2003.

Thanks for the suggestion Macropod, but that didn't work out, assuming
I did what you said correctly. In "normal" view I set all section
breaks to continuous and continue numbering (right-click).

Of note is that the "# of pages" works fine but the page number
doesn't. I'm at a loss but then, I'm no Word expert.
