Page numbering X of Y in a protected form - X resetting
Hi all
I'm having a problem I've never seen before and am hoping someone can assist. This is happening to two separate users - on difference machines with different documents. We insert Page X of Y in the footer and it works fine - showing the correct numbers. Once the form is protected however, closed and opened - the page number sets to a random number for each page. I have tested it both protected and unprotected and its does seem to be the protection that is causing the problem. For example - Page 1 of 16 on every page instead of Page 2 of 16 etc. We do a lot of protected forms with various types of number and this is first time we've seen it do this. We are using Word 2002. Any help gratefully received |

Page numbering X of Y in a protected form - X resetting
Hi Denise,
This kind of problem is usually due to Word and the printer driver not agreeing. You could try updating the printer driver... If that doesn't work, things may get difficult. Most forms tend to have a fixed number of pages. If that's the case, here, then you'd have the possibility of numbering the pages statically. Other than that, your only chance is going to be some kind of macro solution. I'm having a problem I've never seen before and am hoping someone can assist.
