HELP Missing Section Number Messes pg numbering

[Janet A. Thompson]

My document goes from Section 3 to Section 5. The early section break types
are Next Page but later in the doc there are some continuous breaks where
graphics have been inserted. Due to missing Section 4, the page numbering is
not sequential.
How to fix!

Section 4 is not "missing"; it's just not accessible from the header/footer
because it's in the middle of a page. Place the insertion point between the
Continuous breaks that define Section 4 and use Format Page Number. This is
easy if you have Word 2007 (it is directly accessible from the Ribbon). In
an earlier version, use Insert | Page Numbers | Format. Change numbering to
"Continue from previous section," OK, Close.

I'm not explaining clearly.

In Section 3 there are 2 continuous breaks in the middle of the page and
footer shows the correct page number as 10
The next page shows that it is section 5 and the page number in the footer
is 2.
The page 1 is totally missing and it is jumping section 4.

I did a search as you suggested but it was not found.
THANKS for your help.

I am having a similar problem and unable to fix the numbering where there is a break in the numbering of the sections.

I would appreciate any advice.
