Daiya has given you the answer. The numbering currently set to restart in
each section. You need to change it to "Continue from previous section." And
Windows XP Professional is not a version of Word.

It is WIndows XP Professional. It still has the same problem. There is a
Table and something called a "section break (continuous)" I believe this
to
be the problem.

View | Header/Footer, click on the Format Page Number icon on the H/F
toolbar (with a hand and #). Set page numbers to continue from previous
section.

If that doesn't work, when you post back, state your version.

I'm having problems with section breaks and page numbers. The page

want the
numbering to continue: 18, 19, and so on... Any suggestions?
