Page numbering (X of Y) Farce, please help

[davet101]

Hi,

I am aware that this is my first post on these forums but I have an urgent problem.

I am using Word 2003, I have never had an issue using the autotext 'Page X of Y' in a footer before to display page number but I have a document at the moment which is doing weird things.

I am navigating to the top of the first page, then go to View -> Header and Footer and then click within the footer and tab to the middle, then select page X of Y.

However the first page is marked 'Page 0 of 13', the second and third pages are marked 'Page 2 of 14', the fourth pag is marked 'Page 1 of 14' and so on like this. The true number of pages in my document is 14 pages.

It seems like the pages are being randomly numbered, and obviously I'd like then to be numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 ... 14, and also not to begin numbering at 0.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to format this correctly?

Any help is greatly appriciated especially as this is urgunt, its a college project report thats go to be handed in in a couple of days :s

Many thanks,
Dave
