Invisible Page Numbers

Dale Johnson

I am preparing a document for printing and saving it in PDF format for
later use by a printing company. When I save in PDF, the page number in
the Word document does not appear. I know that in Page Layout view,
page numbers are shown greyed out. How can I make those page numbers
"full strength" so they will show up? I'm using Word X for a Mac G4
Powerbook. Thanks, Dale.

Do they appear in Print Preview? I suspect that the margins are off, and
that the number is appearing below where the PDF will "print" text.

See if increasing the "from edge" setting for the header/footer (whichever
is appropriate), via Format | Document, makes them show up. That's a test,
not necessarily a fix.

The greyed out thing is totally irrelevant, that's just a display issue.

Thanks, Daiya- Increasing the "from edge" setting didn't help. I tried
to overlap the print area and the footer area but that didn't work
either. Nothing I've tried so far works. Dale

Do the numbers show up in Print Preview?

What do you mean by "tried to overlap the print area and the footer area"?

What else have you tried?

Does this only happen in one document or all documents?
