This is your reply post with text at the bottom in red. The text marked in red is really two new questions. When you have a new question, please post it as a new thread. It gets you answers more quickly and makes it easier for someone with the same problem to find an answer.
I've broken off those questions in this thread.

You still should use one of the Insert Page Number or Insert Field options and not attempt the manual entry.

Interesting that you say that. One of the Web docs I read said Not to do this, go manual instead, as using the menu can cause the page number to end up in a frame and create number of problems down the road. In fact they stated:

I have gone so far as to remove the Page Numbers... command from my Insert Menu in Word 97-2003!

I JUST TRIED IT USING THE MENU as you suggested.
I took the document, exposed the Header/Footer then inserted both PAGE and PAGE NUMBER and the fields did show up in the Footer.
========================
PRINT VIEW PROBLEM SOLVED
========================
In File > Page Setup > Area From Edge > Header/Footer boxes determine if the Printer can print what appears in the Header/Footer area.
If these values are to small for the Printer to Print, Print preview Correctly shows Nothing in the Header / Footer area.
One must increase these numbers.
I have yet to figure out this "Area From Edge" relationship as it relates to Margin Settings.
For example, if one sets the Footer value in "Area From Edge" greater than the bottom margin, what happens?
========================
NEW PROBLEM
==================
While the text in the Footer Printed with the adjust of "From Edge", the Field {PAGE} came out as Text rather than the Page Number??
