Hey Christine....what you discovered is an old helpdesk trick....Word has a real problem with page numbering....when you try to use the 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc., you OFTEN see 1 of 1 and 2 of 1 instead....and the trick to "refresh" it is exactly what you came across...change your view to anything else, then return to your current view.....actually, switching to print preview and back works too.....sure is weird and I don't know why it fixes it, but it sure does, as you can now attest to Evidently, it was "supposed" to be fixed in Word 2000 with the latest patches and it's not "supposed" to occur anymore in Word 2002 But, guess what....I got an email from someone the other day, using Word 2002, SP1 and it was happening to her....sigh Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com/main.htm Author/Teacher ~ MS Office EBooks/Classes http://personal-computer-tutor.com/services.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Christine Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 8:23 PM To: Microsoft Office Group Subject: [mso] MS Word and Page Ref I just had this condition at work with the pageref field and thought I'd share it.
