How to stop pages numbers from starting over at footer sections

[Guest]

I am revising a document that has page numbers connected to the table of
contents. The problem is that the numbers restart at each section, even when
I delete the table of contents, all of the hyperlinks, and section breaks. I
just want continous page numbers!

Hi Sal_louie,

On the Header and Footer toolbar there is a option called 'Page Number Format'
Make sure that you have selected 'Continue from previous section' under Page
numbering option.

Page numbering has nothing to do with the TOC. Go to View | Header and
Footer. In the Header pane, use the Show Next button on the Header and
Footer toolbar to advance from one section to the next. In each section
where the page numbering restarts, click the Format Page Number button and
select Continuous.

Hi, Suzanne!
About the Greek table. Doug suggested I just white-out (format white) all
the repeated Greek words, and that does work. It creates a new stle format
"Greek-white", but the header tool doesn't seem to distinguish that from
"Greek". Here was my reply to Doug:
Dear Doug,
Good idea for the finished document. But what is a finished document? I'm
doing an employee -list of Microsoft. It's a two-column table with
employee-name at the left and a positon summary at the right. It's going
great I've got
Joe Atkins Maintenance
Suzanne Barnhill Customer relations
etc.
etc.
Joe Benson security
every line filled on the first page, and the header reads "From Joe Atkins
to Joe Benson". But then on page five I get to "Bill Gates", and I need one
line for "president", one line for "monopolist", one line for "Harvard
dropout", and it goes on and on for three pages. What's going to be in the
header for the Gates middle page? "From _ to _", because there's nothing in
the left column. Not only should Word get "Bill Gates" into the two fields
in the header, but it should also insert "Bill Gates" in the first empty cell
at the top left. As a courtesy to the reader. Your solution works with the
finished document, but what if I want to add something - like
"philanthropist" - to the lines for Bill Gates? Then I've got to reformat
what's at the left - change one cell to white the other to black. But thanks
for the idea. I just tried it, and it does work - whiting out the words
doesn't change the Style-Ref in the eyes of the Header mechanism.
