I assume that you meant Format Page Number rather than Edit.
While I do not know why that is causing the crash, you might try running a
macro with the following code
Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count
.Sections(i).Footers(1).PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection =
False
Next i
End With
--
Hope this helps.
Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
