Page numbers don't print

[James Morse]

Added automatic page numbers in a header, and they display in the
document fine, but when printed (or even in "Print preview") all I get
is "{page}" printed where the page number should be.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

James

In the Preferences dialog, under the Print tab, uncheck the box about field
codes.

Hi James,

Go to Preferences> Print and uncheck Include With Document: Field Codes.
That should do it.

There is no "Preferences" in any menu! There is no "File/Save" either!
And this is a clean install.

What version of Word are you using?

The Preferences dialog should be under the Word menu. If in WinWord, the
equivalent is Tools | Options.

What do you mean by "no File/Save"? Do you mean you don't have a File menu
in the main menu bar at the very top?

The support person may have been correct. The earliest version of Office Mac
that may work right in OS 9 is Office 98 (no longer available, so you'd have
to upgrade to Office 2001). So Far, I haven't tracked down official MS
compatibility, but I did find this:

http://computing.unr.edu/sa/mac/appsinstall.html

which says there are problems with Office 4.2.1 in OS 9:

" There appears to be compatibility issues with Microsoft Office 4.2.1 and
Mac OS 9. Some issues can be resolved by doing a clean install of Mac OS 9
and then reinstalling Office 4.2.1. If that doesn¹t resolve the issue, the
only choice is to upgrade to Office 98 or reinstall an older version of the
OS."

Here's a post that asked the same question (but got no answers, so it
doesn't look promising:
<http://www.sdmug.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=218&page=0&view=co
llapsed&sb=11&o=&fpart=1>

(Apparently it may not have even been 100% compatible with OS 8.6.)

You can still get upgrade prices for Office 2001...
