Suddenly the page numbers have disappeared from some documents, and the little icon (in the “Insert” tab) marked “page number” has gotten grayed-out, so i can’t access it. Anyone know how to fix this? Online tutorials are useless.
Are you talking about Microsoft Word?
Check that your document is in fact a Word Document (.docx) and not text or something that doesn’t support features like page numbers.
What view mode are you in? Try Print Layout.
Yes, sorry, Microsoft Word. Yes, these are all Word Documents, docx.
Yes!! That was it. Somehow I got into “web layout”–no idea how that happened. Thank you. Driving me nuts all day.
