Speeding pagination of document

[Ruth B.]

The bar above the task bar on lower left hand screen where the pages you have
typed are noted - is speeding up to page number 20,650 and I cannot
type any further in what is already a 50 page document, nor can I stop it.
What do I need to do? How did this happen?
Thank you

That's a classic sign of a corrupt document. Try the fixes detailed here:

especially Save as Web Page.

This is probably a corrupt document. Have you tried Open and Repair?
That is:- File, Open, select file, down arrow, Open and Repair.
Hope this helps

Thank you! But what does "down arrow" mean?

In the File > Open dialog, there is a downward-pointing arrow on the right
end of the Open button. After choosing the file, click that arrow to get a
small menu. Click "Open and Repair" in that menu.
