Default turn off automatic numbering?

I am taking notes on my reading, using hanging indents. When I RETURN/ENTER
to the next paragraph to enter the next page number, Word automatically
enters the next number in the sequence (i.e. 2 after 3). But often I skip a
page or more, and want the next page to be 4 or 5. How do I turn off
automatic numbering?
Thanks

Default turn off automatic numbering?

On the AutoFormat As You Type tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box, turn off
the "Automatic bulleted lists" option. Actually, you may want to turn off
most settings under "Apply as you type" and "Automatically as you type"; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm.

If you are using Word 2007, here's how to display the AutoCorrect dialog
box: Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Proofing
category, click the AutoCorrect Options button.
