Default How do I get the bottom of the window in Word to show page numbers

I just switched from the Word that came with Works 2000 to the Word that
comes with Microsoft Office Professional. Before, the page numbers--total
and current--always showed up on the bar at the bottom of the window. Now I
can only get the page numbers to start displaying by doing a word count. Is
there a way to make each document automatically display page numbers on that
bottom bar the way it used to?

Go to Tools, Options, View and make sure Status Bar is selected.

"Status Bar" is already selected.

If you're in Normal view, be sure that background repagination is not
disabled (Tools | Options | General). Switching to Print Layout view will
reenable it. Also, if you are using the "Wrap to window" or "Draft font"
features in Normal view, pagination may not be displayed.

Enabling Background Repagination seems to have done the trick: Thank you.
