Page X of Y changes when printing

[Jon Andrews]

I have a template that has the Page x of y format in the
header. On screen and in print preview the page numbers
look fine (page 1 of 3, page 2 of 3, page 3 of 3).However
the printed pages have something completely different
(page 1 of 1, page 2 of 2, page 3 of 3). If I print from
the Print Preview screen, the numbering is as it should
be.

I am using Word XP with all of teh current updates. I
have seen this question posed before and the only
response indicated that this is not an issue with Word
2000 or later.

Maybe this would help:

No, this does not help. The link that is shown below
states:

When you use the "Page X of Y" AutoText in your header or
footer, and it seems to work okay, but when you re-open
or print the document, you see "Page 1 of 1," "Page 2 of
2," and so on, you have the "Page X of Y" bug. Note: The
bug does not affect versions of Word later than 2000, so
if you are using one of them, this article does not apply

As I mentioned, I am using Word XP.

Any other suggestions.

In that case, you will have to try the various workarounds until you find a
solution.
