I added auto numbering to the by going to Insert>page numbers>bottom of the page.



It even showed in the print preview that numbers are there. but when I print it for real they are no there!
printed 20 documents,only about 12 had numbers on them.all of them had number on the print preview. this really messed things up for my project.

I noticed that if there is a big empty space at the bottom of the page like about 10 lines, numbers would print. if not,no. help!!

one person said that is because ,I keep pressing enter(that leaves empty lines on the paper) if I want to insert a new page to the document. but it shows on the print preview. Printer is OK

I had this happen to me too! It looks as if the printer just doesn't 'see' the page number. Is it your whole footer that doesn't print though, or just the page number?

I'm not entirely sure what causes it, but I found that restarting Word and re-opening the document solved the problem. Closing the document and re-opening wasn't sufficient, but restarting word was.
It seemed to make word 'wake up' to the fact that there were page numbers there.

Hope that helps!

I have no idea because I only had Numbers in the footer. might be the whole footer hmm..

I tried closing and opening word too.no luck. I had to print the document anyway because I had no time. Now I am worried about my next book
