Hi everyone,
Here is a link for everyone who has been having trouble with the Page X of Y
feature in Word's headers/footers. This link explains why it does not work.
It's not you...it's a Microsoft glitch that frustrates everyone who tries to
make sense of the feature. My problem was on screen it looked fine, but
when printed it would say 2 of 2, 3 of 3, for page numbers instead of , say,
2 of 7, 3 of 7, etc. My workaround was to total up the pages in the
document and then go into the footer and replace the "Y" part of the
equation manually with my total. I would leave the "Page X of" part alone.
It would then insert the first number properly and read correctly before my
total page number I'd inserted . For anyone wanting a quick fix this does
work. But for a more permanent solution check out the link below.

(For other helpful tips with Word check out http://word.mvps.org)
No affiliation with mvps, just found this site the other day (recommended by
productivity.com I think) and it has lots of answers for Word Users.
Hope this helps you all.
Cheers,
ozgal

I am using headers and footers on something I'm doing. For some reason,
no matter what I check or uncheck, if I have a 3-page report and put
the pages in 2 of 3 and then 3 of 3 using the field function, both the
second and third page have the same number. When I change to 3 of 3,
then page 2 of 3 says 3 of 3.
I just do not know how to fix it.
