Word 2000 numbering

[jdm]

I have a document that has page numbering at the bottom.
It was saved in the Word 2000 format. It prints out as
page 1 of 1, 2 of 2, etc.

When I open it in Word 97 it prints out correctly, 1 of
16, 2 of 16, etc.

WHY?

All of our existing documents at our office and home have
suddenly done the same thing. All we can figure out is
that it must be a window auto update that is causing
this. We have computers that are always hooked to the
internet and getting updated regularly (xp operating
systems) and they are all doing the 1 of 1, 2 of 2 now
that you describe. This started last week. We noted
that if we use an old machine (windows 98) or an XP
machine that hasn't been updated it works fine. We just
noticed this on documents printed on April 20, 2004 and
todate.

There is a bug in Word that is different in different versions (including
different SRs).
See http://www.addbalance.com/word/pagexofy.htm or
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/PageXofY.htm for information on Page
X of Y problems. You may also want to take a look at:

you may also want to look at

Yes, you're right. It seems to be SP 3 for Office 2002 that does it. The
fixes others have referred you to all work: Print in Reverse Order is the
easiest.
