Do you really need that much sections and different formats?

Else I'm afraid that you will need to format page numbers for every section.
Open up the footer, select the page number, right-click on it and select Format Page Numbers,
click on the Continue from Previous Section at Page numbering.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
