What, exactly, of what I wrote is 'untrue'?
Have you any idea how many "if"s & conditional statements you've included in
this contradiction, Pam? There's absolutely no indication in Office User's
description that *any* of those complexities are wanted or needed. In fact,
the desire to keep the document "simple" is the point - That's exactly what
the OP is striving for as indicated in the statement "Having trouble keeping
the headers and page numbering fluid/consecutive across section breaks". The
subject document is a 10-12 page report, not a 500 page technical manual.
Complexity is imposed by a user deviating from the defaults... Often
unnecessarily.

CyberTaz, what you say is only true for simple documents. Header/footer
behavior is complicated and difficult to troubleshoot in complex documents
unless you know quite a lot about them.
If you have front matter that has no or different header/footers, then the
first main content section header/footers will likely be changed to unlink
it from the front matter header/footer and they may be set for different
first page. A new section after that will duplicate the settings of the
first main section, including page number settings. If the new section is a
continuous section break that does not cross pages, you may only see its
effect on later pages. These things can result in restarted page numbers,
duplicate page numbers, wrong text or text placement, and so forth. They are
often not noticed until the document is nearly ready for printing. Been
there.
Office User, you can learn more about headers and footers he
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm
The key is to know what to check for (link to previous, header/footer type,
and page number setting) to either prevent problems or fix them.

Additional to Suzanne's reply: There's no reason the same header can't run
continuously through the entire document regardless of the number of
sections. In fact, that's the default behavior. IOW, section breaks simply
allow the change, they don't require it as long as the properties are
correctly specified.
