[Paul]

When a doc containing the pafe fuction in the header is opened word thinks
that the doc has been changed and ackes do you want to save changes when the
doc is closed. I want to get rid of this save prompt. Can I save paganation
with the file and turn of automaticv paganition? Can I trun of the save
prompt?

You might not be prompted if you save the document in Normal view, which
won't force repagination on opening.

You can LOCK a field to prevent it from updating. Select it, then press
Ctrl+F11. (Unlock is Ctrl+Shift+F11) However, this might (probably would) force
the page number in a header/footer to appear the same on all pages...

An alternate approach could be to not put the page number in the header/footer,
but in a frame, positioned over the header/footer, on each and every page. Then
you could lock the PAGE fields and they'd still show the correct number.
