Add page numbers

I need the document to show consecutive page numbers starting with the title page as page 1. Insert page numbers in the footer, Arabic numerals, right-aligned on every page. If the file already has different sections, make sure numbering continues across them rather than restarting. Double-check the title page displays 1 and the appendix pages follow the main text without gaps.

Before I circulate this draft, make the page numbers unmistakable for reviewers. Put them in the footer, right-aligned, and use a slightly smaller but readable font. If there are sections that currently restart numbering, make the sequence continuous. Flag any pages that still show no number or an incorrect number and tell me why.

I inserted a section break to change margins and page numbers restarted at 1 across the rest of the document. The production deadline is Friday and the design team expects continuous pagination. I am not sure which section's setting is forcing the restart or whether the title page must be excluded. What likely caused the restart, how do I make numbering continuous without losing the margin change, and what minimal check should I run to be sure reviewers see correct numbers?

Across multiple client deliverables we waste time fixing pagination after layout tweaks. What habit should I adopt so page numbers never reset unexpectedly when I add section breaks or change headers and footers, and what quick checklist will prevent last-minute rework before distribution?
