MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / December 2003Oddity in Page Numbering
I have "Page X of Y" page numbering enabled in the footer of a 7 page Word document. On screen it shows Page 1 of 7, Page 2 of 7, etc. but when it prints, it prints Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 2, Page 3 of 3, etc. I've never had this problem before on page numbering and have no idea what's causing it to lose the total number pages (7) upon printing (but is correct on screen). I'm running Win2000 & Office2000 on a 1.8Ghz/512M RAM machine. Has anyone else had this problem or know of an update? It's doing this on all my Word docs with page numbering now. TIA for any help! -CJ I started having the same problem with Word XP very recently after having no problems before (related to installing updates?). I found a Nov. 14 posting in this newsgroup where another person using Word XP found that printing from Print Preview was o.k., but not from the regular view. There is an exchange of e-mails there that did not prove helpful to the requester, as Word XP was involved. I found that printing from Print Preview works, but that in no way resolves our basic problem! >-----Original Message----- >I have "Page X of Y" page numbering enabled in the footer [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >-CJ >. This was supposed to be fixed by Word 2000 SR-1, but you're not the first who has reported the problem in Word 2002.

Thanks for all the responses. I am running Word 2000, not 2002 but did the SR-1 update several months ago. I'll try that again and will check out the link you left. The other issue is that I can't print from Print Preview because these templates (with fields & macros) run in the background to a database I'm working on. The application sends data to the Word templates which propagates that data into the fields and prints the document. Hence, those operations are done without the end user seeing Word, hence I can't put it into Print Preview. Personally, I'm quite surprised that something as easy as this problem isn't fixed or doesn't offer an update that works. Okay, maybe I'm not surprised.... :-( Thanks again for taking the time to respond and for your assistance. -cj >-----Original Message----- >This was supposed to be fixed by Word 2000 SR-1, but you're not the first [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > >. I would be inclined to suspect the third-party application of causing the problem. -- Suzanne S.

All the problems I have seen are in Office XP. It seems that my computers that I have not applied the latest batch of Office updates to do not experience this problem. I tried updating two of them with all the latest patches, and two started having the problem, and one did not. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the patches that I know of. I also tried reinstalling office XP on my computer (at the MS tech's request), and now that it is reinstalled and repatched, it does not seem to have this problem anymore. That still doesn't explain why these latest patches are breaking the page numbering on so many computers. Maybe if we raise enough stink about it, MS will respond... =) Brian > Thanks for all the responses. I am running Word 2000, not > 2002 but did the SR-1 update several months ago.

Therefore, I'm now gun-shy about these workarounds for Word 2002. I'll try some more, but at least printing from the "Print Preview" screen doesn't mess things up. There has to be a better way! >-----Original Message----- >This was supposed to be fixed by Word 2000 SR-1, but you're not the first [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > >.

Hi, the problem of the page numbering on my PC is solved, I installed the service pack SR1 for Windows 2000. Hope it works for you too.
