Microsoft Word says 105 pages, 60K words but in the middle it says 287 and I don't understand that.Help.?

Question

When I put the header for page number it says 105 words.  But on the lower left hand side it says Page 105 and in the middle it says Section 7 and then 287/288...could someone explain that?  Also how do I get rid of formatting changes when I print it out? I tried Reveal Codes and that doesn't work.  Presently it prints out all of the changes I've made on the right hand margin and I need that to disappear.  I know it sounds confusing because I'm confused.  HELP!

I suspect you have the page numbering for that section set to start at 1.  Try this:

In versions of Word prior to Word 2007:

1. Click in the section.
2. Click the Insert->Page Number menu item.
3. Click the Format button.
4. Look in the Page Numbering section.  I suspect Start At will contain a 1.

In Word 2007:

1. Click in the section.
2. Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
3. Click the Page Number button, then Format Page Numbers.
4. Continue as in Step 3, above.

Hope that helps.
