While trying to print some Microsoft Solutions Framework documents, the page numbers get messed-up when printing the Word document. Instead of getting ‘Page 2 of 21’ for example, the printer would print ‘Page 2 of 2’, ‘Page 3 of 3’, etc., all the way to page 21. The solution (or so it appears) is simple: Disable the ‘Background colors and images’ option in Word’s Options menu:
If that doesn’t work, try checking the ‘Reverse print order’ option. However, this option is highly annoying as all your pages will print in the wrong order.
I found these solutions in an MSDN article for Word 2000. You’d think this would’ve been fixed in Word 2003. :-(
