My footer was set up using the "Page x of y" Autotext entry from the footer
toolbar. The print layout view and print preview shows the page numbers
correctly, but the printout comes out as Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 2, Page 3 of
3; instead of Page 1 of 3, Page 2 of 3, etc.

There is a bug in Word that is different in different versions (including
different SRs).
See http://www.addbalance.com/word/pagexofy.htm or
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/PageXofY.htm for information on Page
X of Y problems. You may also want to take a look at:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm. If it applies
you may also want to look at
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumber0.htm.
