Page Numbers Print { PAGE } in Footer in WORD even after ALT + F9
I have inserted the Page Number in a Footer in a standard Word Document.
Initially in the "Print Layout" option of the "View" menu, the page number appear fine. I do a "Print Preview" and they appear as { PAGE }. I press ALT + F9 while in the Print Preview, and the { PAGE } is converted to the actual and correct page numbers on each page. If I print from the Print Preview, the printing is converted back to the { PAGE } variable, and no page numbers print. If I print from the regular Print Layout page, after pressing ALT + F9 in the Print Preview screen, the same thing happens, even though the page number appear correctly on the screen. If I press ALT + F9 while in Print Preview, then get out of Print Preview (back to Print Layout), and immediately go back to Print Preview, the page numbers are all reset to { PAGE}. What do I have to do to get the actual page numbers to display, and most importantly print, rather than { PAGE } on the document? Thinking about WordPefect a lot lately. Thank you for your kind consideration in responding to my inquiry. |

Examine the settings in Tools | Options, Print tab. There should be one for
printing field codes. Alt-F9 only controls the view settings (checkbox in Tools | Options, View tab). Print Preview shows, by default, what will be printed. It would make sense if alt-F9 while in Print Preview changed the print settings, but it doesn't. That behavior is an oddity, and ought to be fixed--alt-F9 ought to do nothing in Print Preview.

Dear Daiya:
Thanks for the tip. The Print tab of the Tools | Options menu, under the "Include With Document" section, had the "Field Codes" checked. I unchecked it, and everything worked fine! Many, many thanks!!! Brent "Daiya Mitchell" wrote: Examine the settings in Tools | Options, Print tab. There should be one for printing field codes.
