Page numbering problem - options grayed out

[Charlie W,]

When I try to insert a page number in Word 2007, the position is grayed out
and I cannot insert a page number. In Word 2007, I am using the following
commands:

Insert --> Page Number --> Bottomof Page

The subsequent options are grayed out.

This is a new problem that arose recently and I don't know what has changed.

Exit Word and then rename the Building Blocks.dotx file in your *user profile* (there is also a copy in the Program Files folder which you shouldn't mess with). You can search for the file in Windows; be sure to search hidden files and folders.
