Page number x of y not updating in Header with Word 2007
The problem is that the page numbers in the header do not update when the
document is opened unless you open the header area or do a manual field update. This the page field code: Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES} When I put the same code in the body of the document, it does update when the doc is opened, but we need it to update the header as well. Here is a MS article that shows you how to make a macro to update the fields when the doc is opened and it does work, but not everybody has this macro so all the people that open these documents are going to think they are messed up. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832897 Is this really how Word 2007 is supposed to function and why? When these same docs are opened with Word 2003, the page numbers are updated properly in the header. |
