Page X of Y problem

[AKThom]

On 10 page documents using multiple section breaks to
control margins and other simple formatting we put page x
of y automatic numbering in the footer to start on page
2. The numbers show up properly on the screen and in
print preview but print as Page X of X. This does not
happen on only from one computer or printer. I have
removed the page numbers, saved and closed the doc,
reopened and re-inserted the page numbers without
effect. Suggestions?

I am having a similar issue, except it is on a 74 page
document. The numbers do show up properly on PREVIEW, but
when they print it is 2 of 2, 3 of 3, and 4 of 4, etc.
Happens on all computers, at home and at work. Have been
able to remove page number and save and close. Then
reopen, put the Page X of Y in, and print and it works.
Then close and reopen, and it is back to X of X. Would
love to get this resolved.

Thanks!!
