Page Numbering doesn't print what I am seeing on the preview

[Di]

I have my page numbers set as "Page 1 of 5, Page 2 of 5, Page 3 of 5, etc."

All of a sudden... ALL my word documents are previewing like they should be - but printing as: Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 2, Page 3 of 3, etc

I have had this document FOREVER and this has NEVER been a proble... I am embarrassed to admit I have NO IDEA what is causing this
HELP

(And THANKS!)

Don't be embarrassed: it is a Word bug that was cleared from Windows XP SP1
but have recently reared its ugly head again in Word 2003. See the following
FAQ for a workaround: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/PageXofY.htm

I'm currently using Office Xp, according
t MS word's abotu bo
Word 2002 (10.5815.4219) SP-

I am having the exact same problem as the previous person. I have tried the workarounds that you have suggested, some of them make matters worse

Page 1 prints as page
page 2 page 2 of 6
page 3 page 3 of 5
page 4 page 4 of
page 5 page 5 of 53............

Its absolute rubbish. I'm a SOHO user and NEED this to work for my reports. I was having no problems till last night when windows update installed some updates (I did not check which ones it had just downloaded)

I'm now really stuck and need a fix to this problem urgently.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

View | Header and Footer, then press Alt+F9 to view the field codes of your
PAGE and NUMPAGES fields. It sounds very much as if you may have
inadvertently gotten an extra field (or plain text) into the Y part of Page
X of Y.

Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm afraid that it has not resolved the issue

I did what you suggested, and have copy and pasted the text that was shown
Page { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES

There is also some extra useful info. If the document is printed single sided the error does not occur. However, if two sided printing is used, the page numbers are not correct

I am also having this problem in several documents (may be taken from the same template, I've just been handed came from other offices), the field codes show normal and I don't know what's wrong

I've tried taking out the code and forcing it to the number that the code said, printing it and replacing the forced number with the code again and it works, but only for me. As soon as I e-mail it to another office the problems re-appear...could this be a service pack issue?
