How to Indicate a Section Continued From Prvious Page
As you have noticed, the page numbering in a section either continues the sequence from the previous section or starts at your specified number/letter.
There is no option to choose from which section the page numbering should continue.

The following macro can be saved in your template to set (or change) the restart number in Section 4 to 1 greater than the last number in Section 2, and then update the tables of contents and figures. If there are tables of tables, updating of those could be added to the macro. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed; note that the template must be saved as a macro-enabled template (*.dotm).
The macro will need to be rerun any time the number of pages in Section 2 changes, so it would be helpful to add a button to the template's Quick Access Toolbar for that.
Sub RestartSec4PageNum()
Dim Sec2LastPageNum As Long
Dim TOC As TableOfContents
Dim TOF As TableOfFigures
With ActiveDocument
' get number of last page in Section 2
Sec2LastPageNum = .Sections(2).Range.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
' restart numbers in Section 4, starting 1 higher
.Sections(4).Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).PageNumbers.StartingNumber = Sec2LastPageNum + 1
' update the TOCs
If .TablesOfContents.Count > 0 Then
For Each TOC In .TablesOfContents
TOC.UpdatePageNumbers
Next TOC
End If
If .TablesOfFigures.Count > 0 Then
For Each TOF In .TablesOfFigures
TOF.UpdatePageNumbers
Next TOF
End If
End With
End Sub

During the past few years, I have noticed that applying the layout requirements, is a pain in the ****. So that al lot of students have (extra) problems to set things accordingly the guidelines. Therefore I try to make this template as easy as possible, with out any hassle and stuff. Thus adding macros is a not the first solution that seem to fit here, I am afraid. But in case I can build in a macro bottom that always works, will be a good solution though. But it has to be a bottom that directly comes with the template, so that other student do not have to seek for it. Otherwise they will find this template not of any help...
Thus I was more hoping for a setting backed within Word, where I could change some, in order to select another section, other than the direct previous.
In other words, the only solution is to manually edit the page numbers of Section 4 to Section 2, after all work is done.

The macro and the button can both be installed into the template for a specific kind of document -- in fact, this is preferable to installing it into the Normal.dotm template, which is only on your computer unless you also give the macro and button to each student. The only further requirement is that the template must be saved as a macro-enabled (*.dotm) file.
