Default Page X of Y - NumPages/Section pages

I have formatted my footer as you describe (Page x of y) - for me it works
fine, including the correct section pages - but I emailed the doc to someone
to print, and for them the page numbers appear correct in print preview, but
print out as "page 1 of 1," page 2 of 2, etc. (when there are 32 pages)

Any idea what might be the problem here?

Here's an example from the Word Help for the term "sectionpages."

"To print text such as "Page 4 of 29" on each page of a document you've
divided into sections, insert the following fields and text in the header or
footer:

Page { PAGE } of { SECTIONPAGES }"

If you open your footer and toggle the page number to view the field codes
(right-click on the page number and click Toggle Field Codes) you'll see that
the page number is created with fields. You just have to change the NUMPAGES
field to a SECTIONPAGES field.

You can type the text within the curly brackets to change the field name.
(For future reference, you can not, however, just type curly brackets to
insert a field. You have to press Ctrl+F9 or use the Insert Field command.)
