Make sure the numbering is set to "Continue from previous section" in every
section.

When I do the section break, it starts the chapter with with its own
numbering instead of starting at page 27, for example. I want the rest of
the document to keep the original numbers, except for the one page at the
beginning of chapter. I just want to erase the heading and page number
for
that page only and then continue on with the same numbering as in the
original document.

Insert section breaks between chapters and use the "Different first
page"
setting (Layout tab of Page Setup) to leave the First Page Header/Footer
blank. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm and

This is for my dissertation. I am not allowed to have a heading or
page
number on the first page of each chapter, but I want this page to be
counted.
In other words, I need to keep all of my page numbers for my document
but
hide the heading and page numbers (make invisible) that appear on the
first
page of each chapter. I don't want chapter two to start with new page
numbers. I want all of the pages and headings to remain the same, but
I
just
need to make it where you cannot see the heading and page number on
the
first
page of each chapter. How do you do this?
Thanks
