Page numbers in word 2003 are gone in word 2007 2k7 is wasting my time 12/19/2008 6:28:01 PM I have a document created in word 2003. It has page numbers i, ii, iii etc in the foreward and page numbers with chapter numbers later in the document (1-1, 1-2, 2-1, etc) When I open it in 2007 the page numbers are all gone - every single page has the same thing now and it just says {PAGE } where it used to show the actual page number. I found an older computer with 2003 on it still and the document opens fine and shows the page numbers - word 2007 is messing it up.

Ctrl+A (select everything) and Alt+F9 (toggle field code) should get you back to the results you are looking for. This behavior is the same in W2003.

Re: Page numbers in word 2003 are gone in word 2007 2k7 is wasting my time 12/19/2008 7:57:02 PM Thanks, but no that is not the cause. I have opened the exact same file in word 2003 and word 2007 - without touching a single key and simply scrolling down --- the 2003 version has page numbers while the 2007 version shows the field code. I tried toggling the field codes yesterday and it didn't work (alt-F9 and the right click method) - but today it did. I'm not sure what has changed or what I did wrong before... So while not solving the "why" of my problem, it appears that the problem is solved nonetheless. thanks
