Multiple section breaks per page in MS Word causing page numbers to repeat
I ran into a very similar issue not too long ago and came across this Microsoft forum post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_word-mso_winother/page-numbering-off-when-using-continuous-section/51c65293-25e4-4660-a5f9-ee2c08a70dca
In that post, Stefan Blom posted the following macro that once entered and run solved the page numbering issue:
Sub SetContinuousPageNumbering()
Dim s As Section
For Each s In ActiveDocument.Sections
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary) _
.PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection = False
Next s
End Sub
Hope this helps.
