Default sections and page numbers


I have a document that does not keep continuous page numbers. It
restarts the numbering between sections. Also, the sections are not
numerically continuous, ie one footer lists section 4 and the next
header is section 6, no 5.

If anyone could clarify what the issue is it would be appreciated.

Default sections and page numbers

Hi zxc,

Continuous page numbering will be maintained if the headers/footers containing the page numbers are linked to the previous Sections.
As for the jump from Section 4 to Section 5, this suggests there's a continuous Section break somewhere on the page where Section 6
starts. You may find it easier to see where that break is by switching to 'Normal' view.

I just got back to this document after being away. I forgot to mention
this is Word 2003.

Thanks for the suggestion Macropod, but that didn't work out, assuming
I did what you said correctly. In "normal" view I set all section
breaks to continuous and continue numbering (right-click).

Of note is that the "# of pages" works fine but the page number
doesn't. I'm at a loss but then, I'm no Word expert.

Default sections and page numbers

To get the pages to be continuously numbered, run a macro containing the
following code:

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 2 To .Sections.Count
.Sections(i).Footers(1).PageNumbers.RestartNumberi ngAtSection =
False
Next i
End With
