Can't see page numbers, only page codes

P

Patrick Riley

Using Word 2002 in Office XP.
When editing my document, the pagination shows
{ PAGE } OF { NUMPAGES } instead of
Page 1 of 3, Page 2 of 3, etc.,
although it does show the numbers in Print Preview and when actually printed.

How can I get the document itself to show the numbers instead of the codes?

Hi Patrick,

You've managed to toggle the field code display on. You can toggle it on/off via Alt-F9.

Doing so gives me a "Help for WordPerfect Users" window, and the page codes
remain (that is, page numbers do not show). The odd thing is that for years
I did not have this problem---it just cropped up two days ago. Same PC, same
Word version, same Op system.
Any other suggestion?

Yes, this worked!!! Ignore previous reply (if it even showed up).
Thank you so much.
