MS Word 2010 multi page (379 total)

I got asked to help out with weird page number on a MS Word 2010 multi page document. The document starts with page "1" in the footer and is in sequence until page "169" then the next page show page number "139", the next page shows "138", then the next page shows "139" then goes to page 154.

Some pages toward the end show no page numbers.

Hopefully a MS Word wizard is out there to help with this.

The goal is to have all of the page numbers in sequence at the bottom of each page.

Thanks,

Frank

In Word 2007/2010/2013 you can, open the footnote and endnote dialog and choose "restart at each page"

Thanks

It sounds as if you have more than one Section, and the page numbering is being restarted, not necessarily at 1, for some of them.

The best way manage is by setting the Headers or Footers in edit mode (double click in the area), and open the Format Page Numbers dialogue via the Page Number button). Use the Navigation group on the Header & Tools Design tab to move between Sections.

Have you tried looking at the Sections?

Anyway, we'll have a look if you can post it here.

Thanks paulsauve and GrahamSkan ,

Appreciate your help trying to figure this out. I figured it was pretty messed up when I initially
looked over the doc.

paulsauve - Is there a way for the Author to possibly work with you to straighten this out for him. Any contact info I can pass along to him?

Thanks again guys,

Frank

I don't mind answering further questions on Experts Exchange, but I prefer not to be contacted directly. I do a bit of consulting work on the side, as I'm now retired, but mainly for people I know locally (near Quebec City, Canada).

Thanks for all of your help so far with this paulsauve,

I am not sure how to proceed with this document. I saw the page breaks all over it seems throughout the document. What would you suggest as the best approach to correct this?

I will take me several hours - I'll go through it!

Hi Frank,

Well, it took a little longer in elapsed time than I expected... I had a few other things that came up today while I was working on your document.

So here is the document.
