Page field in footer prints the field while displaying number

[Dennis]

Using ALT F9 will switch the display between field name
and actual number, but under no circumstances would the
number itself print. Also, when working in page layout
view, the page number is displayed but switching to print
preview displays the field name once again.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the suggested

solution, was ineffective for removing the field code
when previewing the document and also when printing. I
would appreciate any other suggestions.

If you don't have "Field codes" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options,
then I cannot think of any reason why you would be seeing field codes in
Print preview or on printout. Please note that there is a distinction
between the Print tab and the View tab where you had already cleared the
"Field codes" check box.
