Header and Page X of y
I have noticed that in documents that have a header and use Page x of y,
when the document is first opened, it always displays as Page 1 of 1 no matter how many pages are in the document. If you go into Header Edit or even just page down then back up, then it displays the correct Page 1 of [total pages]. Please show me how to fix it. Thank you very much! Chi |

Header and Page X of y
Hi Chi,
When Word opens a document, it doesn't know how many pages are in it, so it displays 1 as the total number of pages in the header. Word needs to lay out the document in memory and do some calculations before it knows how many pages are in the doc. This may take some time, depending on the size of the document. You can see evidence of this activity on the status bar at the bottom of the screen in different forms, depending on your version of Word and the status bar options that you have selected. After this opening process is completed, anything you do that requires Word to refresh the screen, including typing a letter, will force Word to also update the total number of pages in the header. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz "Chi" wrote: I have noticed that in documents that have a header and use Page x of y, when the document is first opened, it always displays as Page 1 of 1 no matter how many pages are in the document.
