I am looking for a way to have the actual page number, for example page 1, in
the header and in the footer I would like it to say continued on page 2, and
have it do that throughout a document. I have tried section breaks and just
about everything and it still will not allow me to have two different page
numbers on one page.

You don't need section breaks. What you do need is to do some arithmetic in
the field.

The regular page number is displayed as the result of a field whose code
looks like {PAGE}. In the continued line, type an = sign before the field
and +1 after the field. Then select from the = sign to the 1, and press
Ctrl+F9. That will give you a field whose code looks like {=PAGE}+1}, which
will display the number of the next page.
