Page numbers display in preview but do not print
Word 2003 SP2 (same problem before install of SP2).
I cannot get page numbers to print properly. I am using a simple footer with page number centered; same footer for the entire document. In Print Preview all pages display the page numbers as they should be; when printing the only page number that prints is on the page that has a hard page break (CTRL-Enter). I have found this problem with other documents but I figured I would start with the least complicated footer. Any suggestions? |

Hi ?B?QnJpYW5C?=,
Word 2003 SP2 (same problem before install of SP2). I cannot get page numbers to print properly. I am using a simple footer with page number centered; same footer for the entire document. In Print Preview all pages display the page numbers as they should be; when printing the only page number that prints is on the page that has a hard page break (CTRL-Enter). I have found this problem with other documents but I figured I would start with the least complicated footer. This is only the page number? Any text associated with it (such as Page of y, where y is the total number of pages) prints?

No other text to display.
I believe I have an answer though: it would appear that Word (possibly in conjunction with the print driver) has decided NOT to print anything below the 1" point on the page. If the text goes all the way to that point then it will not print anything from the footer (I tried straight text). If the text of the page stops before the 1" point (say 1.5") then the footer is printed AT 1" (even if the footer is set to .5" or .75"). I concluded this after setting a page with a hard page break and setting up a text footer of "1" (for page 1) and attempting to print on top of my already printed page one text. The text stopped at 1" and the footer was set to .75". The footer kept printing on top of the last line..... Unfortunatlely, solution was to up the text margin to 1" and let the footer print at 1". Fortunately, it was only a 9th grade Science paper; though in the future the college prof may not approve |

Hi ?B?QnJpYW5C?=,

If the text goes all the way to that point then it will not print anything from the footer (I tried straight text). If the text of the page stops before the 1" point (say 1.5") then the footer is printed AT 1" (even if the footer is set to .5" or .75"). This is a known problem with some printers/printer drivers. Inkjets (HP especially) are notorious for not supporting the margins the drivers allow in Word. You might contact the manufacturer of your printer and see what they have to say (probably "it's Word's fault").
