Hi,

I'm a newbie to MigraDoc. How do you keep the page numbers sequential from one section to the next. I'm getting them restarting to 1 for each section.

thanks

Dave

That's the default behaviour if you do nothing.
If you set the starting page number of a new section to 1, it will start at 1 again.

Don't use code like this:
Code:
section.PageSetup.StartingNumber = 1;

I only set the starting page number to 1 for the first section. I don't set it for following sections but they still start again at 1.

In our application we never set the starting page - and it works as intended.

Why set the starting page to 1 if that's the default?

Do all your sections share the same PageSetup? Maybe that's the problem.

I don't want page numbering for the cover or the table of contents so I set startpage=1 for the next section i.e. the first actual page of content but the 3rd pysical page. I then use new sections after that because I want to have different headings for each section.

Use the PageSetup with "StartingNumber = 1" only for the section that shall have page number 1.
Use another PageSetup that doesn't set StartingNumber for the following section(s).

That fixed it.

Many thanks for your help.
