Page numbering not working

[JC]

Hi,

I run Windows Pro XP with SP2 and Office 2003 Pro with SP1 applied.

A question was asked about how to page number a document so I opened Word to go
through the steps.

I selected View, then Header and Footer. The Header and Footer window opened
and I then switched to footer (4th button in from the RHS). I then I clicked
on the button with # on it (page number). Next I insert " of " and then
clicked on the button with 2 +'s on it (number of pages). I then closed the
Header and Footer window.

That should have put 1 of 10 etc into the footer of my 10 page document.

What I got was {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES} in the footer on all pages.

Next I tried the autotext to add Page x of y and ended up with a similar result.

I also tried adding date and time info with a similar result.

Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Cheers . . . JC

And if field codes are also printing, choose Tools>Options, click the
Print tab, clear the "Field codes" option, and click OK.
