greetings!
I'm trying to help someone out on formatting their document; they
posted earlier to the list.
it's the strangest thing. any attempt to insert 'page number' or 'page
count' yields a blank space.
well, not completely blank. there is some kind of char but it appears
only as a grey area.
I have tried changing fonts and I also have made a template of the doc
and then generated a new one. no change. I have changed the language
from Canadian English to American.
the other major fields such as 'date' and so on work.
I would guess some kind of corruption somewhere but maybe someone has
a better notion. I'd hate to have to reconstruct the document from
ground up. I'm willing to fool around with xml or whatever if needed.
I'm on OpenOffice 4.1.6.

Do the other fields appear on a grey background? If so, this is
non-printing, but can be suppressed by toggling /View /Field
Shadings. If you turn on /View /Field names, does the page number
field show "Page Numbers"?
this worked but you may have seen my reply to Brian Barker; one of his
methods solved the present problem.
If you turn on the Stylist (F11), and enable "All Styles" in the
dropdown on Stylist's bottom bar, are there many styles WW... and
Convert..., which indicate that the file has been Saved in MS
document formats and or edited by MS Word.
just btw this is all OpenOffice, no touch of Word.
