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.

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. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "zxc" wrote in message ...

Cya 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. Cya -- zxc |

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 -- Hope this helps.
