Word: View Header and Footer Paging Problem?

[corinthia]

Hello there

I am having a extrange problem with word at the moment. When I Use Header and Footer and Insert Page X of Y, the numeration showed is correct, but when I save and retrieve the document againg the numeration is wrong. I.e. I have 10 pages and the numeration shows page 2 of 1, 1 of 1, 9 of 1, instead of 1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10, etc...

And as I said it happens when I save the document.


Anyone has any ideas????

Yes I have experienced this problem too Corinthia. I think the fact that the {numpages} field is not always automatically updated - especially when it appears in a header or footer.

As far as I can tell you will need to select all (ctrl-A) and update fields (F9) before printing. I even added a custom toolbar button to do this because it seemed the easiest solution.

If anyone has any better ideas I'd be glad to hear them.
