Page X of Y initially incorrect, prints correctly

[S. Miller]

The document is in 'print layout'. There are 2 pages.
The first has a table in the header, with 'Page X of Y'
nested in the table. The second has a different table in
the header, with 'Page X of Y'. It is necessary to have
tables in both headers.

When I first open the document, the total page numbers is
incorrect (1 of 1). If I immediately print, it prints out
1 of 2. Also, once I click inside the header on the first
page, it changes from 1 of 1, to 1 of 2. Page numbering
is always correct on 2nd page. There are no page or
section breaks in the document.

Can anyone explain what's going on and how to fix it?

Thanks!!!
Scott
