    Need help with simple (I hope) edit for continuous page numbering across sections

    Hi-

    I need some assistance. I have a 1 pg merge document - log in sheets- that contains a footer with the page number. There are 15 or so individual pages in the generated document that require sequential page numbers. A while ago I managed to grab some code from somewhere (sorry I don't remember where!) that generates the page numbers in the footer, but it starts at 1 and I need it to start at 0. Otherwise, the code works exactly as I need it to.

    Can anyone tell me how/where to add the instruction to start numbering at 0? Here's the current code:

    Sub ContinuePageNumbers()


    Dim sec As Section




    On Error GoTo Done
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False


    With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
    .SeekView = wdSeekPrimaryFooter
    End With


    For Each sec In ActiveDocument.Sections
    sec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Select
    Selection.HeaderFooter.PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection = False
    DoEvents
    Next sec


    With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
    .SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
    End With
    Selection.HomeKey


    Done:
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub

    Thanks in advance for any help!
