Default Total Page number incorrect in the first page footer

Hi,
I have a word 2007 docx document which contains 25 pages, but the total page number is incorrect in the first page footer it shows always 4, but other page footer shows correct total page number 25.


When I try to edit the document, the first page footer total page number got updated with correct value



Please see to the attached document and let me know what could be the issue.

There is nothing apparently wrong with your document. There are two field fin the footer - PAGE & NUMPAGES. Pressing Alt-F9 will display:
Page { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES }
These fields should update automatically as pages are added or deleted, and do so with your document in my testing.

when ever editing the document NUMPAGES updated to 25, but when opening the document it shows as 4.

On opening the word it should show 25 right instead of 4.

Your document displays '25' as the number of pages immediately I open it.

Have you tried repairing the Office installation (via Word Options|Resources|Diagnose)? Have you tried updating your printer and display drivers (both of which could impact what you see on screen)?

Please read my previous reply. You have not answered all of the questions I asked. In any event, I am unable to reproduce the problem - your document works fine on my system.

No, this problem has nothing to do with the Word version.

The same document when I open from browser download its updating.
when I navigate to downloads and try to open the same file the page number is showing 4 in first page.

I have done all the options which you have mentioned, but still i am not able to find out the root cause or workaround.

Also other members in my team also facing the same issue, if my word is having problem then the issue is specific to my word, but everybody is facing the same issue

Regardless, what you are saying is NOT typical Word 2007 behaviour and I have suggested what you might do to remedy the problems with your system.

I get the same behavior with your document in Word 2007. If I go to print preview and back, the number is updated. If I open the footer for editing, the number is updated. If I print the document, the numpages field is updated.

I created a new document with new content but a page x of y footer. I closed it. Upon reopening, the numpages was wrong, however, after I scrolled through the document and came back to page 1, the numpages was correct.

This may have something to do with the speed at which Word is loading your document from your network.

If it prints properly, why are you concerned?

Hi Charles,

Most likely, the behaviour is due to interactions with the print/display driver, which the OP was advised to check in post #4. I see no evidence yet that either of those has been checked.
