Number insertion

[Arthur MacLeod]

When I try to insert a page number, I get the following error "Word cannot
open this document template template." (C:\users\...\1033\ Building
Blocks.dotx)

This is MS Word in MS Office 2007 running under Vista Ultimate x64

I removed IE8 and restored IE7. Still did not fix the problem. But is did
fix a problem with an Autodesk application

At the location where you want to insert the page number, press Ctrl + F9 to
insert a pair of field delimiters that will look like:

{ }

and inside them type the word "page"

{ page }

If you want page numbering of the form Page X of Y, using Ctrl + F9 again
for each pair of field delimiters, insert

Page { page } of { numpages }

Use alt+F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes.

See the answer to the post titled "cover page troubleshoot" (either above or
below yours) for the steps you need to take to rectify a corrupt Building
Blocks.dotx file.

Fixed! Had to go to the last step.
