Hello,

Im hoping someone might have some advice here, because Im bemused.

Im working on Word 2000, delivered as part of the Office 2000 suite, on
WinXP SP2.

Ive inserted two cross-references within a footnote using the standard
procedure, via the Insert menu, etc. I can get the cross-references to show
up correctly on the screen by updating the fields. When they are correct,
they look like this: €œSee p. 50, n. 141€� (where €œ50€� & €œ141€� are the inserted
cross-references).

So, on the screen the cross-references appear correctly. Im looking at them
on the screen, and Im happy. Heres the problem. As soon as I hit Print, the
correct cross-referenced page number -- i.e., €œp. 50€� -- suddenly gets
changed automatically and becomes, quite bizarrely, €œp. 2€�, and the page
prints as such. That is to say, the page prints with the wrong
cross-referenced page number, although it appeared correctly on the screen a
fraction of a second beforehand. Im now looking at the printed page, and Im
unhappy.

To make things even more bemusing, the number in the footnote
cross-reference sitting beside it doesnt change, and prints correctly (i.e.,
€œn. 141€�).

Ive tried a number of things, but none of them work. For example, in the
Tools/Options/Print tab, I have the option €œUpdate fields before printing€�
turned on. I tried turning it off, and updated the fields manually before
printing. But this didnt work.

Am I having a bad day, is Microsoft playing some kind of a joke on us, or
has this been encountered before!?

Also, does it have to be this bad? Oh, help, please!

Thanks in advance.
