When I print a word document with page numbers, the numbers do not
print. Instead I get this

{page }

What can I change (select or unselect) to get page numbers to print?

TIA

jeannine's solution, Alt F9, does nothing for me.

That works but now the displayed page on the monitor has the {PAGE }
showing instead of the page numbers. It seems to be just one thing
after another. Fixing one problem just uncovers another.

I have a Word 97 instruction book but it is silent about this problem.
My present version is 10.0.2627.0 which came with MS Office XP
Professional for Service Pack 2 (I do have SP2, BTW).

For this you do need Alt+F9 (or clear the box for "Field codes" on the View
tab of Tools | Options).

Thanks Suzanne. Clearing the 'Field Codes' box on the View Menu did it.
Alt-F9 does nothing for me. When do you use (apply) it? What needs
to be on the monitor when you invoke it?

Alt+F9 toggles the display of fields from field codes to field results or
vice versa.
