non-continuous section breaks
I’ve been doing a lot of content removal and rearrangement. When I view
headers/footers in a Word 2007 .docm file, they number from beginning to end like this: Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8. The fallout from this is the page numbering for section 7 will not continue from previous section. Is there a way to make the section numbers sequential again so my page numbers will correct themselves? Also, is this a cautionary tale about not cutting whole sections and moving them (I have a mix of landscape and portrait pages). I’ve never experienced non-sequential section numbering before. |

non-continuous section breaks
The sections are inarguably sequential (there aren't any missing); it's just
that not every section has an accessible header and footer because some of them are "continuous" and are in the middle of a page (for example, around multi-column sections). In order to address page numbering in those sections, you must be in the respective section; at least Word 2007 makes it easier to access the Page Number Format dialog from anywhere in a document. You can use the browse buttons at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar to Browse by Section. This should allow you to access each section in turn. Watch the section and page numbers on the status bar, and when you come to a section where page numbering is restarted, go to Insert | Header and Footer | Page Number | Format Page Numbers... and select "Continue from previous section." Repeat as needed until the numbers are sequential throughout the document. -- Suzanne S.
