Footers
Hi,
I hope I am asking this question in the correct group. I have a Word Document with a footer displaying the following - The notes on pages 8 to 14 form part of these financial statements. When I print the document the fotter is changed to the following - The notes on 6 form part of these financial statements. The above footer is at the bottom of page 6. I have tried right clicking on the footer and selecting update field before printing but the issue still remains. What else can I do so the correct page numbers are shown when printing the document? Any advice / pointers appreciated John |

With header/footer view, looking at the footer in question, press Alt-F9 to
show the field codes. Please give us those field codes and we may be able to help you. Otherwise, you could delete the fields and type in "pages 8 to 14." Doing this, though, you lose the dynamic aspect of the footer. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi Charles,
Thanks for your reply. I would like to try and work out whats going on with the field caods as this has been working fine up until now. The field codes are as follows - The Notes on page{IF {PAGEREF Fpage010} {PAGEREF Fpage011} "s {PAGEREF Fpage010} to {PAGEREF Fpage011}" "{PAGEREF Fpage010}"} form part of these financial statements.

Footers
As you are no doubt aware, a pageref field produces the page number on which
a particular bookmark appears - in this instance you have two relevant bookmarks Fpage010 and Fpage 011. These should be bookmarks within the text area of the page (not in the footer). Unfortunately bookmarks are all to easy to delete. My guess is that the second of these bookmarks no longer exists in the document (or is on the same page as the other) and the first is now actually on page 6. When you print the document, the fields in the footer are updated to show the current position. Knowing nothing about your document beyond what you have told us, we cannot tell whether there are section breaks affecting the issue, but working with a plain multi-page document with the two bookmarks placed on the appropriate pages, the field structure works as intended. You need to locate your bookmarks and ensure they are where they are supposed to be. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John McC wrote: Hi Charles, Thanks for your reply.

Hi Graham,
Thanks for your reply. I have checked the location of the bookmarks and they are in the correct place. When this documant was created section breaks were inserted at the end of each section. If I remove these section breaks it then effects other parts of the document. Is there anything else that could effect the page numbers in this way??

doesn't when printing. Very strange. Looks like I may need to find another solution John "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Just to be sure, the FPage10 is on page 7 and FPage11 is on page 9?
