Word 2007 B2TR: Where's my page number?

After installing Microsoft Office 2007 B2TR on top of installed Beta 2 last week, I can't get the page number to work. Every time I select page number, it grayed out and the text displayed was "Save Selection as Page Number". Well, the workaround I found was selecting: Insert Ribbon > Quick Parts > Field, then Page field. A cumbersome way! Angry The page number formatting was not working either.

Today I found out that it was a common problem. The best solution to make page number work again can be found at this address: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1289988&page=10

Many thanks. I found your article after frustrating sessions trying to get Word 2007 to produce page numbers: I had upgraded from B2TR which had failed to do so, but I just put that down to its beta status. I closed Word, used desktop search and deleted all examples of Building blocks.dotx then restarted Word. Silly the things Microsoft overlooks!
