Hi Jamie, It isn't that word numbers the pages, it's that my screen reader announces the page number in order determined by how many page breaks have been passed. I don't know any way to tell it not to do that. And if I want to do a good job, I need those page breaks announced. Easier just to get rid of the soft page breaks and keep a running tally of preliminary pages, plus pages of text in my head and make sure that matches what I hear word tell me. Or, I can just forget about that and validate using Kurzweil 1000, which I generally do anyway after making sure that both programs agree on the number of pages in a document. Kurzweil allows preliminary pages to be ignored, essentially, in the page count so that the page numbers match the page break count unless the scanner didn't do something correctly. More than you ever wanted to know? Sorry.

I don't let Word number pages for me unless I'm typing a paper that must be numbered.
