Why would automatic footnote numbers jump from 1 to 3?

I am using both Word 2007 and Word 2010. I am having footnotes entered irregularly on both versions.

I can not find any reason for this.

I am using Windows 7.

Answer

See if there is a section break somewhere between these footnotes. Then look in the Footnote and Endnote dialog box to find out if the numbering has been restarted to 3.
