Thanks Graham - I did try on another PC and assumed all were the same - not
so. After trying a couple of others in the workplace they were fine. So i
just replaced the normal.dotm with an "orginal" and all is working okey
again.
Thanks

By default it shouldn't do that - at least not in Word 2003 or 2007. The
default is for the section headers to be linked and the numbering to
continue. I am unsure how you have achieved the default of restarting page
numbering, but try starting in Word's safe mode (hold the CTRL key whilst
starting Word from the start menu and acknowledge the safe mode prompt).
Does it still reset the numbering after a section break? If not then see
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. with
particular regard to the normal template and the registry data key.

Thanks Peter, I relaise that but would prefer that it didn't
'default' to restarting the page number after you insert a section
break. Just seems an odd thing to occur just because you insert a
section break. i.e. most reports, letters etc have continuous
numbering from 1 to 100 not 1, 1, 1.
I have setup a macro to do all the fiddly tasks but was wondering if
there is a way to change the 'default' restarting at 1 and have it as
continuos.

When you switch from Portrait to Landscape and back, you're not
merely inserting Page Breaks, you're inserting Section Breaks New
Page.
Place your cursor in the Header of the landscape page, and in the
Toolbar (2003) or Ribbon Tab (2007) that appears, find the Format
Page Number button, and in that dialog, set the page number to
Continue from Previous.

Why does the page numbering restart to 1 when inserting a page
break next page. This is very annoying is you insert a landscape
page into a report only to find that the landscape page and
following portrait pages have reset to Page 1. Is there anyway to
default this to continuous?
Thanks
