MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / August 2003Page numbering goes berserk
Hello: I'm currently running Word 2002, but have had this problem also in Word 97 on a different computer. Both computers were running their respective versions of Office. Occasionally when working on a document that is multiple pages, in Page view (Word 97) or Print Layout view (Word 2002)the automatic page numbering feature goes nuts, adding pages at the rate of thousands per minute. It keeps going until you dump the document (Word 97) or push Escape (Word 2002). The tendancy to do this stays with that document forever after, no matter how many times you close and re-open it. Word 2002 sometimes returns a dialog box after you push Escape, saying that Word needs to change to Normal view to continue. What causes this problem? How can I rescue my document? How can I fix it? Thanks - Bill After playing with the document, it appears that the problem is somehow associated with a .tif file that I had inserted in the document. I deleted the .tif file and the craziness stopped. That still doesn't solve my problem - I need the .tif file in the document. Any ideas?

How big? If it was full page size and you had it wrapped Square or Tight, there would be no room on the page for the text paragraph it was anchored to, and this could cause the same sort of chasing. -- Suzanne S.

Is there a fix, or is this just a Word foible we have to live with? Bill >-----Original Message----- >Was the .tif inline or wrapped? How big?

The fix would be to change something in the layout; this gets into the "Move with text" and "Lock anchor" settings, which I'm never quite clear on, but what it amounts to is that if the graphic won't fit on the page with the paragraph it's anchored to, it should be allowed to move along to another paragraph. The way the position is defined would make a difference, too. If the position is Relative to Paragraph, then Word doesn't have much flexibility, but if it's Relative to Page (at the top or bottom, say), then Word can move it to the next page, where there is room and move the anchor to another paragraph, or move it to the top of the page it's on, allowing the paragraph it was originally anchored to to move to the next page. Or something. I realize this is pretty vague (I don't work much with wrapped graphics), but perhaps it will give you a start in the right direction. -- Suzanne S.
