Thank you Paul, I will try that.

I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just trying to learn. I have 11 other, as I said, very similar reports. I use with success in all the other reports {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES} with success. I don't know what is so different with this report.

Could this style issue, which I'm still working on understanding, be a result of different Office Version between creation and use today? Again, the other reports created at the same time with the same software don't demonstrate the same behaviour.
