It sounds like your document has multiple sections, each with its own page numbering settings. Here's how you can fix it:

1. Go to the page where the numbering starts over.
2. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the "Page Setup" group to open the "Page Setup" dialog box.
4. In the "Page Setup" dialog box, click on the "Layout" tab.
5. Under "Headers and Footers," make sure the "Different First Page" and "Different Odd & Even Pages" options are unchecked.
6. Under "Page," make sure the "Section start" option is set to "New page."
7. Click "OK" to close the "Page Setup" dialog box.
8. Go to the next page where the numbering starts over and repeat steps 2-7.
9. Repeat this process for any other sections in your document where the numbering is not consecutive.

Once you've made these changes, your page numbering should be consecutive throughout the entire document.
