Page numbers

[Dave Plyer]

How do I automatically get continuous page numbers for 81 pages a document
that has 5 sections? The page numbers appear in the footer as “Page x of y.â€
Each section, from section 2 through section 5, shows “Same as Previousâ€
above the footer. The header across all 5 sections is the same but the
footers are not. There is discontinuity between section 2 and 3.

The page numbers for sections 1 and 2 are continuous and read “ Page 1 of
81†through “Page 9 of 81.†However, the footer on the first page of section
3 reads “Page 1 of 81.†It should read “Page 10 of 81.†The page numbers
continue in sequence though sections 3, 4 and 5. The last page of the
document shows “Page -72- of 81.†[Note: starting in section 4, dashes are
automatically inserted before and after the page number.]

How do I get rid of this discontinuity between sections 2 and section 3? I
want the first page of the document to read “Page 1 of 81†and the last page
to read “Page 81 of 81.â€

Click into the Section 3 footer and then use the Format Page Numbers located
on the Header and Footer toolbar to make sure that the number continues. It
sounds as though at some point it was changed to "Start at 1".
