I am running Word 97 and I want to have my pages come out numbered at the bottom automatically when I print them out. I tried it through footers, but they all take the same number. I need them to come out 1, 2, 3, etc.

Ok, here are the steps you need to do:

- From the TOOLBAR got to the INSERT section (next to File, Edit, View)

- Select "Page Numbers"

- A window will appear which will help you select the format of the number (i.e. 4 or - 4 - or Page 4) and the location of the page numbers (top of page\bottom of page) and the alignment (on the left or on the right of the page).

Hope this helps you out...

This sounds like Background Printing is turned on in Word. Go to Tools | Options | Print | Background Printing. This option SHOULD NOT have a check mark, if it does turn it off and print. Good luck

Footers is the way to go. The first icon on the Headr/Footer tool bar is the page counter. Click it an you should get 1,2,3,etc. on page. The next icon is total pages. If you enter Page: of you will get Page: 1 of 10, Page: 2 of 10, etc. We do background printing all the time at work and I have never had a problem with page numbers not showing. lo
