MS Word and page numbering when printing

[CindyM]

I have some reports that have footers with page numbering.  The page numbers are correct when viewing the document on the screen, but when I print it out, the page numbers are all wrong.  Anybody know what might be wrong?

Thanks for any help!!!

This usually depends on the size of the paper. Are you trying to say that one page on the computer comes out of the printer as one and 1/2 and it is printing the page numbers in order as they come out.

I'm printing on 8-1/2 x 11.  What I mean is that on the screen my footer says "page 1 of 3," "page 2 of 3," and "page 3 of 3," just the way it should.  However, when I print the document, it says "page 1 of 1" etc.  The pages aren't getting chopped off, just the footer numbering is incorrect.

Thanks!  I checked out the link and this sounds exactly like what is happening on my customer's end when she receives my files.  We'll give this a try!

Do you have anything else in the footnotes and if not get rid of the footnotes and then just insert "PAGE NUMBERS"
