Default Handling page numbers in sections of a template

To my knowledge, there's no way to include section breaks in a style. Besides
you'd need two of them. Have you looked into autotext? I don't use that
feature but maybe someone else here can tell of their experience with it.

Pam, thanks for the feedback. I agree that users should know how to do it by
hand, but unfortunately that's not my reality. I like the macro idea, but I'm
hesitant to do that because the users of the template may have macros
disabled -- and explaining that might open another can of worms.

Another thought I had was to force a new section every time a certain style
was used. I already have a page break forced every time a custom Heading 1
level is used; is there a way to save a section break to the Heading 1
instead? That would enable me to set the continous page numbering throughout
the document, no matter where they insert a different-sized page.

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
