Hi, I too suddenly cannot insert page numbers as options are now grayed out in Word 2007. This question was asked before but the answers were way over my head. Below is the previous answer, then I'll add my questions on how to DO the answer you gave. Please give step-by-step instructions.
YOUR ANSWER:
"Exit Word and then rename the Building Blocks.dotx file in your *user profile* (there is also a copy in the Program Files folder which you shouldn't mess with). You can search for the file in Windows; be sure to search hidden files and folders.

MY QUESTIONS TO CLARIFY YOUR ANSWER:
1. Where IS the "User Profile" - I cannot find it.
2. Windows cannot find Building Blocks.dotX. Also cannot find C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033, which was given in another response to same problem. Please tell me exactly how to get TO Building Blocks.dotx since the above don't work.
3. I don't know HOW to search "hidden" files. Please explain.
4. Re BUILDING BLOCKS.DOTX, another person's answer said, "Renaming this file will not work as Word will load it the first time you access a gallery." So do I move it? (If yes, where to?) Delete it? OR stick with renaming it?

I have this issue with any new user profiles on my machines. i can delete the building blocks.docx and the function works file, what do i need to do so that all my windows profiles have a working and correct building blocks.docx file so that i don't have to delete it every time there is an issue? Does that make sense?
