Need to Format 49 section breaks to link to previous.

[Millieac]

I did a mail merge for letters and I need the resulting 150 page document to
have page numbers 1-150. However, the section breaks all have "Start
numbering at 1". Without accessing every section is there a way to globally
set continue numbering or link to next section for the document?

To do this you need a small macro. Read
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed:

Sub NoPageRestartAllSections()
Dim oSec As Section
For Each oSec In ActiveDocument.Sections
oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumbers _
.RestartNumberingAtSection = False
Next
End Sub
