I can't insert Page no. in Footer!
Arrgh!
In Word 2007, I can't seem to do a simple Insert page numbers in the footer! Yes I have used help and followed the directions, but it seems my "Building Blocks" file was not present! I performed a complete "Repair" using setup. This time I was able to GOTO=Word optionsAdd-insManageDisabled ItemsBuilding Blocks However no luck! Under DesignPage NumbersBottom Page there is no selectin to choose from! Pleas does anybody have an idea as to what the problem could be? |

Have you looked under Insert|Page No.? The tab there gives access to the top/bottom/margins, etc.

Bhimaeup,
You are saying when you click Insert - page numbers - then click bottom of the page that there are no styles in the pane? Could you tell us what shows up when you click on the design tab, choose quick parts in the insert group, and click on building blocks organizer, are there no items there relating to page numbering? -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Bhimameup" schreef in bericht ...

There should be _two_ Building Blocks files on the computer: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Document Parts\1033\Building Blocks.dotx and %appdata%\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\Building Blocks.dotx (the "environment variable" %appdata% represents the hidden folder C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data in Windows XP, or C:\Users\your name\AppData in Windows Vista). You may need to go into Windows Explorer's Tools Folder Options View dialog and choose to show hidden folders to be able to find the %appdata% folder. Close Word, delete the Building Blocks file in the folder below %appdata% and restart Word. It will make a new copy of the one under Program Files, which is the original created/repaired by the Office installer and which should not be deleted. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Luc,
Yep I am saying when I click Insert - page numbers - then click bottom of the page that there are no styles in the pane?...Yes exactly I see..."Save Selections as Page Number (Bottom)" grayed out (as in unselectable) Could you tell us what shows up when you click on the design tab, choose quick parts in the insert group, and click on building blocks organizer, are there no items there relating to page numbering? Yes I do see the "page X of Y" and it does insert ok, lol! However, isn't that a work around? How can I correct it to be accessed under DesignPage NumbersBottom Page "Save Selections as Page Number (Bottom)" is still grayed out! But Im happy I'll take the workaround! Thanks Luc! If you know of a link to help me fix this please let me know, as Im sure clients will be asking the same question!

..Jay, You are a wizz! I did as you said, and being the Curious George That I am I tried to open it and got a MS word pop-up window saying.. "This file was created in a pre-relese version of word 2007 and cannot be opened in this version" Which I had a very long drawn out removal of all office .MIS files! So Im sure some other people out there will need this fix! Great Job I now see the Gallaries! Bhima "Jay Freedman" wrote: Bhimameup wrote: Arrgh!

macropod,
Yeah I did that! See the other posts, it was a incompatibility problem from prior version of Office 2007 (Beta), and thanks for your quick response!
