I have a multipage document which is set up with a footer using
different first page
different odd and even pages

I set it up using the page numbering Page x of Y command and have also change the Y in the footer to the section page field code.

It all works fine until I save and reopen the document. At that point the first page footer view as Page 1 of 1 even though there are multipages and should view as i.e. Page 1 of 3.

If I click into the footer is automatically views correctly i.e. Page 1 or 3 and stays that way until you save the document again. The weird part is that if I would print the document without clicking into the first page footer it still prints out correct. Seems to only be a viewing problem.


All of this used to work fine in Word 2007 and just seem to have the problem when working in Word 2010.


Any help is appreciated.
