Page # not linking to previous section
I've read quite a few blogs and solutions, but I haven't found something
yet to address this--what I thought would be simple in Word 2007 as I've done it alot in Word 2003. I have two sections in my document due to columns starting on page 5. I've tried both page & continuous section breaks with the same problem. I have page numbering set up in the footer starting on the first page of my document and want it to run straight through both sections. However, even though I have the page # in section 2 "linked to the previous" (the link button is highlighted when I'm in the section 2 footer), my section 2 starts over with "page 1" instead of saying "page 5." The only thing that seems to be linking to the previous section is the formatting--not the numbering sequence. Is there something else that could be stopping the link between the sections from working for the numbering sequence? Or do I need to set the numbering up a different way? |

Page # not linking to previous section
In the Header & Footer Tools Design tab of the ribbon, click on the Page
Number pulldown in the Header & Footer section of the ribbon and select Format Page Number and set the page numbering to continue from the previous section. -- Hope this helps.
