The long-term lesson in this is to always Save a copy before experimenting with formating (and before making any other changes that could be difficult to undo). If I'm correct, it also means you'll need to go through the document from the top, setting the first section where the format is to apply to the correct format, then setting each succeeding one to Continue (page numbers) from previous section, and to Use previous headers and footers. That would explain the yellow rectangle enclosing only single pages. Looking at one of the word processing templates, I notice a button on the tools bar is for inserting Sections, and if you insert individual pages using this button, then each page is a separate section. all the title pages are in a certain font and say '2'). It seems that each type of page I insert (title, table of contents.) each has a different format, and the numbering is just staying the same for each TYPE of page (i.e. Word 2016 can not only automatically number your pages, but it also lets you place the page number just about anywhere on the page and in a variety of fun and useful formats. With Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac, the user can. There appear to be no sections set (I can click each page individually and it doesn't highlight yellow with any other pages). Word inserts page numbers in frame, which you can position anywhere on the page.
I want the pages to number as a footer in the centre, and not in sections.
