Page Numbering restarts when inserting a Page break next page
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 |

Page Numbering restarts when inserting a Page break next page
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.

Page Numbering restarts when inserting a Page break next page
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. "Peter T.

Page Numbering restarts when inserting a Page break next page
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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org OrderedChaos wrote: Thanks Peter, I relaise that but would prefer that it didn't 'default' to restarting the page number after you insert a section break.

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.
