Default

This one is new to me, but there is a bug in Word that is different in
different versions (including different SRs).
See http://www.addbalance.com/word/pagexofy.htm or
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/PageXofY.htm for information on Page
X of Y problems. You may also want to take a look at:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...eNumbering.htm. If it applies
you may also want to look at
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumber0.htm.

Are you sure you have a PAGE field and not a NUMPAGES field? You can see the
fields by pressing Alt-F9. (This is a toggle and you want to do it again
after you've looked at the fields.)

Do you have page numbering set to start from 2 or "Continue from previous
section" (the latter is the default and will always start a document at 1)?
