I'm guessing that you're somehow pasting over something that contains a
section break, which contains page formatting. If the text doesn't contain
formatting (e.g., styles, bold, italics, etc.), you can try choosing Edit -
Paste Special - Unformatted text. If there is formatting you need to retain,
then you can try carefully selecting text so as NOT to include section
breaks, and pasting so as not to replace section breaks.

I cannot retain page numbering in printer output when I have copied and
pasted a section of a document, in order to correct a typo or rephrase a
sentence, etc. When I print the selected text on the page/pages, the
numbering is gone. I find it very disagreeable to have to print the
entire
document after making a change on 1 or 2 pages out of 65-70 pages. Of
course, it would be much better if I made no mistakes, or decided to
change
something, but.....

Any ideas on how I can solve this?

Much thanks!
