Default Word 97, Page Number Not Showing Print Preview


First attempt at FIELDS.


1) Bottom Margin is Set at 1 Inch.
2) Make Footer Visible
3) Tabbed over to Far Right in Footer
(Footer does Not seem to allow a Mouse Click so Text can be Placed Anywhere in Footer).
4) To Insert Field did: Clicked the Far Right Footer Area > Ctrl + F9, Typed PAGE between brackets.
5) To Update Field in Footer did: Clicked in Footer > Ctrl + A > F9
6) Closed Header/Footer Toolbar
7) Print Preview to see if Page appeared, NOTHING??

You still should use one of the Insert Page Number or Insert Field options and not attempt the manual entry.
"From the Insert menu, choose Page Numbers. Select a positiona and alignment for the page number. To change the number format, choose the Format button in the Page Numbers dialog box. When you finish, choose the OK button." - MS Word User's Guide for V.6 1994

Creating codes is practically impossible. You are always best to edit after any Auto Text creation. These haven't changed much if at all from then to today.

Moderator's note: dw8754

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.




spillerbd: Thanks for responding.

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??
