footer page number not in series count

[oldLearner57]

hi community

can anybody kindly guide me on this:

while typing a set of document, my page number at the footer, at certain
pages, the number does not run in series format, an example, while typing at
page 84 and when Word automatically wrap through next page, the page number
should be 85 but it went bersek, it shows page 81.

what i did was, i converted the normal page break to section break and re
format the page number to be page 85.

this happen not only at this page, i experienced it while at page 66 and
next page showed page 51. ????

kindly assist me on this, and I am using Word 2007

thanks in advance for the kind assistance given

Are you using a laptop with a touch pad mouse thing. If so, maybe you
inadvertently scrolled back through the document. The only other
alternative is that there are Section Breaks in the document and the page
numbering has been formatted to be other than "Continue from previous
section"
