Word 2000 prints the page numbers of a 3-page document as follows: Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 2 and Page 3 of 3. The Print Preview shows the result correctly, eg Page 1 of 3, etc. I have deleted the codes, re-entered them, pressed F9 on the field codes to update them, tried it at home and at work, all with the same result. I would be very grateful if anybody out there could help.
 
When you say you've delteed the codes and re-entered them, what does this mean? Did you use the insert - autotext - page x of y or the buttons for adding the page numbers, or "hard code" it using inserted fields?


It sounds like you've used { page } of { page } instead of { page } of {numpages }

Thanks for your reply. I have checked (using Alt+F9) to reveal the codes and if definitely showed { page } of {numpages }. However, I did insert the codes using the buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar, not AutoText or the Insert Field command.
 
Tools-Options, Print tab.

Uncheck "allow background printing".
Close the dialog.
Ctrl+A
F9
Ctrl+Home

Ctrl+A, F9 will update your fields, as will doing a print preview. Those fields should update for you now.
