Page Numbers in Footers

[BoRed79]

Hi.

I am having a problem changing the page numbers in a document in Word 2007.

I am fairly new at using Word 2007 and am not sure why I keep managing to
crash my system.

I have a fairly long document (150 pages ish), which is made up of multiple
sections. I have used multiple sections (section breaks) so that some of the
pages do not have the headers and footers on (as they are landscape pages).

However, in each new section the page numbering in the footer starts at one.
I am trying to change the page numbering, so in the document it appears
continous throughout it (with it just ommitted from certain pages).

However, every time I try to change the page numbering (using the insert
tab, footer, page numbering and edit) it crashes Word.

Is there any reason why this should be happening and is there any way to get
round this problem.

Many thanks for your anticipated help.

Liz.

I assume that you meant Format Page Number rather than Edit.

While I do not know why that is causing the crash, you might try running a
macro with the following code

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count
.Sections(i).Footers(1).PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection =
False
Next i
End With
