PAGE NUMBERING WON'T WORK AT ALL
Noticed yesterday that page numbers had disappeared completely from 3
separate documents that list my Movies on DVD Collection. Checked my backup files, they were the same so figured something had changed in Office Pro 2007. Have exhausted all the suggestions on the MS info sheets and numerous internet posts along with what I have read in this discussion group. I have deleted the 'Building Blocks' thingey in Docs&Settings, run repair etc. etc. - all to no avail. The best I can get from clicking on 'Insert Page Numbers" and following all the instructions I have read (!!!) is 'PAGE\MERGEFORMAT' which, sometimes will show just on page 1, sometimes on all. The page numbers have been there since I first started these lists back in 1995 and they have successfully migrated through all MS Office Upgrades since. The last upgrade was from Word 2003 to Word 2007 and I installed that at the end of March. The page numbers were all there until yesterday! I have tried to get through to MS Support but none of the Products ID's entered have worked. So, if anyone "out there" can assist with a solution, this Kiwi 'downunder' in Middle Earth, New Zealand would be very grateful! Cheers! |

It appears that you're seeing the field code instead of the result. Try
pressing Alt+F9. -- Suzanne S.

PAGE NUMBERING WON'T WORK AT ALL
Thank you, Suzanne.
Following that I can now get to inserting the number but the same figure that I insert appears on all pages even although I choose the '1,2,3, etc otion. (I assume I do not take any notice of the 'Equations' ribbon? ). I confess I am not "an expert" in these things but I can usually putter my way around 'problems' and work them out with a bit of help from info sources. This one is literally driving me 'nuts'!!

PAGE NUMBERING WON'T WORK AT ALL
Hi again Suzanne
Have 'played around' a bit and ... voila ... I've got there. Was not sure how at first but once I got the RESULT tidied up, I got where I needed to be and then repeated it with another couple of trial runs. Thank you again for your assistance. Regards.
