Wow--I thought all you guys were old enough to remember this. ;) Well, I RTFM. Took me a while to find it. I'd lost the original and had to dig it up on the web. It says there, in black and white, that FRX2Word can't handle _PAGENO if it's wrapped in any kind of expression, but it works unadorned. Also can handle some report variables in limited ways. I thought I'd update the issue in case anybody searches on it someday.
