I have a document with several sections and would want the page numbers to be
continuous from the beginning to the end of the whole document.

You don't mention what version of Word you are using, this will determine
exactly who to do what you want.
Basically though you need to check the box "Continue from previous section"
in the Page Number format dialog box.
Tell us the Word version for more exact details, but hopefully this will
point you in the right direction.

This is the default. If you are seeing something else, it will be because
someone has restarted numbering in one or more sections. Contrary to what
DeanH says, you can restart or continue numbering irrespective of the "Same
as Previous" or "Link to Previous" setting of the respective headings. You
must just go into each heading where numbering restarts, access the Page
Number Format dialog (this is done differently depending on version), and
choose the radio button for "Continue from previous section."

Hi Suzanne, I never mentioned "Same as Previous" or "Link to Previous" or any
mention of section breaks in my posting. <?>

Wow! You're right. Don't know how I misread your post so badly! Looking at
the posting time, though, I'd guess I was just winding up a posting session
and rushing to get on to something else. Sorry!

That's ok, probably a left-over from reading another posting. I had to reread
my original posting 3 times to make sure!

Lunging at shadows, tilting at windmills, whatever. It's just that the
misconception about unlinking vs. restarting is so prevalent that I'm always
trying to correct it, even when it's not there!
