I had a strange problem in Word 2003. I have a 44 page document, a legal
pleading, complete with vertical lines in a header or footer along with line
numbers. Page numbers are in the footer on each page. Here's the odd part:
The first page of this 44 page document is numbered 45! And the 44th page
is 88! But it's not just in the footer. On the first page of the document
at the bottom of the Window on one of those bars Word tells me: "Page 45
Sec 1 1/44..."
I solved the problem by first creating a legal template using the Pleading
Wizard, adjusting verything as needed and then copying my 44 page document
except for the final paragraph marker. But this problem is one of the
wierdest I have seen. Any idea what did it? (Most courts gave up "legal"
stationery requirements--legal size, line numbering, vertical lines at the
left and right margins long ago--but not __, well I won't mention
California)
