page, sec and page of page, word 2003 isn't updating in normal vie
Hi,
I had office 2000 and updated to office 2003. Now in word, in normal view, the task bar at the bottom that shows page, sec and page of page, isn't updating. I have to change to print layout view to have the three fields update themselfs with info. then as I'm writting and adding more pages, while back in normal view (the view I prefer) it doesn't update, in fact sometimes the infor will disapear, I have to swithch back to print layout to have those fields show up and or update. I've installed all the updates as of 04.27.08 but still not working. Any ideas? Thanks |

Possibly "Background repagination" is not enabled for Normal view, or
perhaps you're in Web Layout view? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Steve" wrote in message ... Hi, I had office 2000 and updated to office 2003.

Im definitely in normal view, like I said, I have to keep switching back
from print view to normal to have it refresh. Since office 2000 worked and all I did was an upgrade to 2003, Id assume that Background repagination is by default turned on, but who knows. I didnt know it could be turned off, where do I turn it on? Thanks Suzanne "Suzanne S.

Tools | Options | General. Ordinarily, switching to Print Layout view turns
it on, and you would have to manually turn it back off. But if your document is especially complex and/or your processing power limited, I wouldn't put it past Word to take it upon itself to switch if off (it does do this with picture placeholders). -- Suzanne S.

The computer is at home, Ill take a look tonight, but I did some tests here
at work and was able to duplicate the condition by turning it off, so its a good bet that its turned off at home. Ill take a look and thanks again. "Suzanne S.

I checked and found that Background repagination wasnt check. I checked it
and everythings ok. I was planning on doing a repair, then a full uninstall and reinstall. You saved me a lot of work, thanks Suzanne for the help.
