Incorrect SectionPages in Footer

S

S Sorenson

I have several documents that use the SectionPages field in the footer. We have discovered that in some situations the document appears correctly when viewing it within Word but when it is printed the page numbering appears as 1 of 1, 2 of 2, etc. This was reported as a problem in Microsoft Word 2000 (Knowledge Base Article 189175) and supposedly fixed in a service pack (Microsoft Office SR-1/SR-1a). We are currently using Microsoft Word 2002 SP-2 and are experiencing the same problem. I searched the Knowledge Base again and found article 324329. The suggested workaround does not correct the problem so I tried the suggestions from the previous article. One of the suggested resolutions "corrected" the problem (Turn off Background Printing). It appears the bug originally found in Word 2000 has been reintroduced. Is there a SP to correct it? If not, when can one be expected?

One of the security patches apparently "broke" this. I haven't heard yet of
it being fixed again.
