Restart page numbering at section 1 only with VBA

[chrscote]

I have a document that runs a script to set the intro pages (TOC, List of Figures, etc.) to use lowercase roman numerals. When I get to section 1, I am currently using PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection and PageNumbers.StartingNumber = 1. However, when my script gets to a major section heading (single number vs. 1.2.3), the script uses Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage, which is causing them to be new sections and thus restarts numbering back at 1, but I want it to continue numbering from the previous section. So, if Section 1 ends at page 7, I want Section 2 to start at page 8, instead of 1 like it is now. How do I, in VBA, allow succeeding pages simply continue with the numbering from the previous page?

How about posting the code? It's impossible to give specific advice without seeing it.

Sorry 'bout that. Here's the part of the code that I have for setting page numbers:

With Selection.Find
.Text = Chr(13) + "<IntentionalBlankCheck"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
End With

If Selection.Find.Execute = True Then
Selection.EndKey unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
If Selection.Text = Chr(13) + ""<IntentionalBlankCheck-SectionBreak>" + Chr(13) Then
'Reset Numbering to not start numbering at section breaks
ActiveDocument.Sections(currSect).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumber s.RestartNumberingAtSection = False
'Delete the text, add Section break and check if on an even or odd page
'If on even page, then add "This Page Intentionally Left Blank."
ElseIf Selection.Text = Chr(13) + ""<IntentionalBlankCheck-Section1>" + Chr(13) Then
'Delete the text, add Section break and check for even/odd page as above

'**************Code to set Starting number to 1********************
currSect = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber)
ActiveDocument.Sections(currSect).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumber s.RestartNumberingAtSection = True
ActiveDocument.Sections(currSect).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumber s.StartingNumber = 1
End If


As you can see, I have code that sets the Restart Numbering variable to false [I]every[I] time I see anything other than -Section1> just to be safe, but it still keeps starting sections at page 1.

That's still not a meaningful amount of code. For example, there's no context to indicate what currSect is.

And, since you're apparently trying to do something to a document based on its content via Find/Replace, it would also be helpful if you could attach a document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive). You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.
