numbering problems

[paul]

I have a document which is about 5 pages long. What i
want in the footer is for it to say page 1 of 5. But
rather than having 2 0f 5, 3 of 5 I get 2 0f 2, 3 0f 3.

what can I do?

There is a bug in Word that is different in different versions (including
different SRs).
See <URL: http://www.addbalance.com/word/pagexofy.htm> or <URL:
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:

applies
