Page Numbering Glitch

[DavidinLA]

I have a document with page numbers of the format "Page # of ##" where #
is the current page number and ## is the total number of pages in the
document. All looks well in the document on screen, showing "Page 2 of
109," "Page 60 of 109," etc.

But when I print the document, both numbers become the current page
number, so it shows "Page 2 of 2," "Page 60 of 60," etc.

Has anyone seen this, and does anyone have a fix? Thank you.

Are you using Mac? This is a Mac Word newsgroup. Your newsreader
suggests you're on Windows.

This was just covered extensively on MacFixIt. It's an old and very well
known problem and a full discussion appears on the MVP web pages.

Hey David, if you are still having problems and if your document is not
confidential, would it be possible to send that document directly to me so
that we could take a look at it?

You can email me directly if you want at:
