Thank you Cindy. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. Anyone
have some additional ideas?

Hi Frank,
Aside from having fields update before printing, how can the page # fields
update when they are used in the body of a document. For example, if you use
Page X of Y, and you have multiple pages, the #'s do not update if the fields
are used outside of the header/footer. I know you can use F9 to manually
update, but how can I get them to auto update as they do in the header/footer?
Aside from F9, there's no way to force Word to change how/when fields are
updated. This article describes, more or less, how field updating works in Word

You can probably get these fields to update by switching views (into/out of
print preview or Normal view).
