Page Numbering when pages differ between Landscape and Portrait

I have a document that has most of the pages in portrait, but several in
landscape. When I insert page numbering, the numbers appear on the first
portrait pages, but when a landscape page comes up, it begins the numbering
again starting with page 1. I believe it is renumbering what it thinks to be
"sections" within the document, but there are no sections - only different
ways the pages are formated. How can I get all the pages to be numbered
sequentially?
 
In Section 2 (and as many others as necessary), go to Format Page Number and
set it to "Continue from previous section." This is the default setting for
new sections, so you must have restarted the numbering at 1 at some point.

You have sections - you cannot have landscape and portrait in the same
doc without sections.

If you change a page to landscape and select This Point Forward, Word
inserts a section break.
