This article was previously published under Q234999



SYMPTOMS
When you use the X of Y page numbering format, with X representing the page number and Y the total number of pages in the document, the total number of pages value may not print correctly. Instead, the document is numbered similar to the following:

Page 1 of 1

Page 2 of 2

Page 3 of 3

and so on.

NOTE: You do not see the problem on screen or in print preview.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

Method 1

 * 1) Quit Word.
 * 2) Locate the Word Settings (8) file in the System Folder:Preferences folder.
 * 3) Drag the Word Settings (8) file to the Trash.
 * 4) Start Word.

Word 98 will generate a new Word Settings (8) file, and the problem should no longer be present.

Method 2
When you print your file, use the Print command (on the File menu) instead of the Print button on the Standard toolbar.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
