MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / August 2004Weird page numbers
I've created documents in Word 2000 using a template and attached them to email messages to my client who reports the following problem: "all the pages show '0 of 3', or '0 of 4' or something similar. I tried to delete the page numbering and redid it several times with no effect. I even tried different ways of inserting the page numbers. I noticed 2 other 'odd' things. One is that the page number in the lower left corner of the screen shows page 0 all the time. The other thing I noticed is that one time I was deleting each of the characters in the page number, and as I deleted them, the correct page number would flash on the screen, and then it would go back to page 0 again". The page numbers are correctly displayed and printed on my computer/printer. Has anyone encountered this problem or have any ideas on how I can try to correct it?

Hi,Suzanne Thanks for the reply, but before I go down that road I'm wondering if the fact that the page numbers display okay when I open the documents that I created but are all "0" of "N" when he opens them isn't the result of a different problem....I'm using Word 2000 and he is using Word 2003. >-----Original Message----- >See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumber0.htm [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > >. Yes, this is most likely something different, but I have no idea what. FWIW, *do* you have any graphics anchored inside a table in the header? SignatureSuzanne S.

Suzanne I followed the instructions in the link you suggested and removed the table in the header, retaining the graphics, and it fixed my problem. A thousand *Thanks* you for your help.....Mike >-----Original Message----- >Yes, this is most likely something different, but I have no idea what. FWIW, [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] > >. If your layout is such that you *can* remove the table, then this is perhaps the best solution, but it would suffice to move the graphic's anchor to the (obligatory) text paragraph following the table.

I was given the template for the header and would not know a graphics anchor if I saw it but I think I know what it does.....Please explain what a *graphics anchor* is and what it looks like and how I can find it or see where it is. >-----Original Message----- >If your layout is such that you *can* remove the table, then this is perhaps [quoted text clipped - 76 lines] > >. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm for a picture of an object anchor (it looks like a ship's anchor). To display object anchors, check the appropriate box on the View tab of Tools | Options. You'll see that the anchor is currently beside the table, but you can drag it down to be beside the paragraph mark below the table. SignatureSuzanne S.

Suzanne.....Thanks for the link to the tutorial.....I followed the instructions and the nonprint characters were displayed, but there is no object anchor to be found anywhere.

If you've made the object inline, then there won't be an anchor, but when it is floating (wrapped), there should be an anchor. SignatureSuzanne S.
