Page count auto update glitch
I have the option selected to display "Page: ? of ?" in the lower left hand
corner of the window. However, this will only update if I click on the word count. It doesn't autoupdate when I move the cursor to a different page. This is very problematic when I'm reading a lengthy document and need to know which page I'm on. Normally I would just click on the page to put the cursor on that page and the page information would automatically update. But I just upgraded to Office 2007, and this no longer works. I was using 2003. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks. |

Switch to Draft view. Then click the Office button, and click Word Options.
In the Advanced category, make sure that "Enable background repagination" is checked (you'll find it under the "General" heading). Note that background repagination is always turned on for Print Layout view. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "vbtiii" wrote: I have the option selected to display "Page: ? of ?" in the lower left hand corner of the window.

I appreciate the reply, but that didn't help. It was already set for auto
repagination. There's a couple of other sporadic glitches, so I'm starting to think that a re-install might be warranted. This is really starting to frustrate me. I hate glitches!

This could be a sign of document corruption. For fixes, see

Well, it doesn't seem to be related to document corruption. Unless Word is
automatically corrupting every document that gets opened. Weird. I just love those computer glitches. "Stefan Blom" wrote: This could be a sign of document corruption. For fixes, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/corruptdoc.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |

Indeed, if this affects all existing documents, then it must be something
else. I've never seen this myself; perhaps someone else can solve the mystery. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "vbtiii" wrote in message ...
