Word 2007 - Page Number options grayed out
I am trying to insert a Page Number in a Word 2007 Footer.
Regardless of which option I choose (Top of Page, Bottom of Page, etc.) all the options are grayed out. Ideas? And can someone at MS tell me why they made a once simple process so arcane? |

Word 2007 - Page Number options grayed out
It could be an issue with Building Blocks.dotx, the location of the gallery
entries you see. You can find it at: C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033 Exit Word, locate Building Blocks.dot either move it out of the folder or delete it. Renaming this file will not work as Word will load it the first time you access a gallery. Then start Word and see if Page Number gallery is available. Also note Building Blocks.dotx located in the Office installation path (under Program Files) should not be deleted. This is the master copy that is used to create your personal copy found in your profile. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

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? Mike C. |

Answer: Word 2007 - Page Number options grayed out
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble inserting page numbers in Word 2007. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on.
Step-by-step guide:
As for your question about why Microsoft made the process more complicated, I can't speak for them. However, I do know that Word has evolved over the years to include more features and options, which can sometimes make things more complex. That being said, I hope this helps you insert page numbers in your document!
