HELP Missing Section Number Messes pg numbering
Section 4 is not "missing"; it's just not accessible from the header/footer
because it's in the middle of a page. Place the insertion point between the Continuous breaks that define Section 4 and use Format Page Number. This is easy if you have Word 2007 (it is directly accessible from the Ribbon). In an earlier version, use Insert | Page Numbers | Format. Change numbering to "Continue from previous section," OK, Close. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Janet A.

The early section break types are Next Page but later in the doc there are some continuous breaks where graphics have been inserted. Due to missing Section 4, the page numbering is not sequential.

HELP Missing Section Number Messes pg numbering
I'm not explaining clearly.
In Section 3 there are 2 continuous breaks in the middle of the page and footer shows the correct page number as 10 The next page shows that it is section 5 and the page number in the footer is 2. The page 1 is totally missing and it is jumping section 4. I did a search as you suggested but it was not found. THANKS for your help. -- Janet A. "Suzanne S.

I am having a similar problem and unable to fix the numbering where there is a break in the numbering of the sections.
I would appreciate any advice. On Thursday, January 29, 2009 11:46 AM Janet wrote: My document goes from Section 3 to Section 5.

I read this and thought I was finally saved!!!!! My columns in the middle of a page are a continuous section. I placed my cursor like you said - between the continuous break and did format page number. Unfortunately, that changes my page number in the header - even though that is section 3 and my columns are section 4. So, this did not help! I'm going nuts with a 500 page document. It only had 3 sections which was managed fine. Now that I have columns in there, the pages just follow the columns, so everything now starts at 2. I don't want to manually change all the numbers. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
