why does page number revert to earlier number after section chang.

I'm trying to insert page nos. into a document that is in portrait then
landscape then portrait. The page numbering is ok from portrait to landscape
but when the document changes back to portrait the page number goes from the
previous portrait section. Any ideas? Puzzlingly, the overall no. of pages
is correct.

Place the cursor in the section where page numbering is wrong. On the
View menu, click Header and Footer. On the Header and Footer toolbar,
click the Format Page Number button. Click "Continue from previous
section" and then click OK. Close the header/footer area.

Had tried clicking in footer & doing this but it didn't work. Doing it this
way it did.

Thanks

Glad I could help.

Probably you weren't looking at the correct section at your first
attempt. If you were using the Next and Previous buttons (on the
Header and Footer toolbar), the cursor didn't necessarily move to a
new section, since a section can have up to three different headers
(and footers).
