Default Word 2007 How to continue page numbering across sections

Go to the next section after the one that has the page numbering you want to
continue. Click on Insert tab/Header&Footer group/Page Number command. Click
on "Format Page Numbers." The same Page Number Format dialog box that you're
used to from previous versions of Word will open. Make the changes you want.

Another way to do this would be to link the current footer (and page number)
to the previous section footer. Click on Insert tab/Header&Footer
group/Footer command. Click on "Edit Footer." Click on the "Link to Previous"
command. Page numbers continuing from the previous section should now appear
in your footer.

Remember, too, that before making any changes to the footers, page numbers,
etc. in the second section, you need to TURN OFF the "Link to Previous"
feature, THEN make your changes.

When using Word in Office 2007, after creating a new section the page
numbering restarts at 1. I would like it to continue from the previous
section. In previous versions of Word there was an option for this in View |
Header/Footer. I cannot find anything like this in 2007.
