I have a document that will not let me consecutively number the pages.
Everything is fine until page 19, and then it starts over again at 1, goes to
page 6, and then starts over again.
How do I undo this?
 
Restarted page numbers mean that the document contains section breaks; page
numbering options are set for each Word section. Use the Page Number Format
dialog box to set the "Continue from previous section" option for each
section.

To access the dialog box, activate the header/footer area (for example by
double-clicking the header). In Word 2007, click Page Number, and then click
Format Page Numbers. In Word 2003, click the Format Page Numbers button on
the Header and Footer toolbar. Use the Next and Previous buttons to move to
the following sections.
 
Thank you!!!
