How can you continue numbering a page after a section break in Word 2007?

Question

Can you set a header on a page following a section break to continue numbering as before? Although I've got the document set up to renumber pages after each section break (because I've got different page numbers for my appendix), i don't want the pages to renumber after creating a small section of text with two columns (because word automatically adds in section breaks to create columns).

Is this possible?

Thanks very much

Answer 1

Try this:



1. Click in the section you're trying to continue the numbering in.

2. Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon.

3. In the Header and Footer group, click the Page Number icon.

4. Click Format Page Numbers.

5. Click the Continue From previous Section radio button.

6. Click OK.



Hope that helps.
