Are you trying to insert Word 2007 page numbering and have no option in the sub menu?
You were running Word 2007 beta right….
Here is the fix:
Click on the Start Button, select Run
Type the following: “%appdata%MicrosoftDocument Building Blocks”
This will open a folder and in it you will see a 1033 folder. In this you will see the “Building Blocks.dotx”.
Delete that file. Rerun word, and all will be ok!
Thanks for the input. I could not find this info anywhere on microsofts website.
Regards
JAke
I appreciate your help. I went from beta to trial.
Why is Microsoft so bloody stupid and incompetent, not to mention downright un-user-friendly?
You are the man. I reinstalled the damn program over and over because microsoft support told me to. You solved the problem in 10 seconds. You truly are a god among men.
However, in microsoft’s defense. Word 2007 is a pretty great program.
I can’t believe I had to search the internet to get this to work. Thanks for the article and Microsoft has some serious issues.
Thanks, it works.
MS have to inser a link in their KB to your site.
Thank you! it worked I almost go and buy a new copy!
Thank you very much you were a great help.We did run beta but it is now uninstaled and the genuine 2007 is instaled so beta must have left this on the system thanks once again peter
Thank you for this tip. It was not to find on Microsoft’s site.
Thankyou so much- i’m in the middle of writing a paper for uni and was getting very frustrated with Word 07’s apparent dislike of page numbering!
Hai members, I request you to get me some notice for the following tips in microsoft word,
Tables, formating text, editing, word art, Headers and footers, coppying and pasting, and many moro you can manage to get me. I will be gratefull if my request is put into you considerations.
REPPLY ON

Thank you so much. You are indeed the best. With your simple directions, I did the fix in less than two minutes.
Thank you thank you thank you. Have a paper due this week and I’m getting the formatting set up and the page numbering was driving me nuts. Glad I’m doing this early or I would have been frazzled trying to figure it out late at night.
Haha I was trying to figure it out the night before a major paper was due. Thanks so much!
I can’t thank you enough. I wasted a lot of time and got a lot of bum steers from Microsoft on getting the page numbering to work in Word 2007.
OMG you dont know how much you really should start spreading that around the intranet…works like a god damn charm
Brilliant! Thanks!
That workaround doesn’t work for me. I cannot insert pagenumber and there is no quick style sets at all. There is no folder 1033, but a folder 1031. If I delete the file it doesn’t help. MS Office repair does not help as well. Any ideas appreciated..
thanks so much!!
a problem that has frustrated me the whole night!!
hello,
i tried this but it didnt work for me. i have an essay due so im getting desperate. help anyone?
Excellent found this tip in about 5mins using google.. good stuff keep up the great sharing of tips and tweaks.. 🙂
You saved me ages
I found this folder but was told that I couldn’t delete it because it said it was open. So far as I know it isn’t open so now what to do. I have a paper due tonight. My computer tech did not know either. I had another friend work on it for two hours the last time I needed it done and now I can’t remember all she did. Frustrating. I would move all this to Open Office but have tables that would be a problem.

Thanks a lot .. I was lucky to arrive to your page through google, after passing by MS without success … I was finalizing a business proposal and it looked bizzare not to paginate a 4 pages proposal
Thanks a lot..wow you really solved me a problem that made me search for hours on Internet…really thank you
wow, I seriously love you man! thanks so much! at first, my 1033 folder was hidden but i clicked on properties and unchecked the box for it to not be hidden so i got it to work. thanks again!
Wow… great help.. i was about to reinstall the whole thing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! This just started happening recently and I was just about to re-install Office 2007.
Hi, I have the same problem, tried everything ofcourse, but even this doesnt work, the file just replaces itself. bummer. anyone got a clue how to fix that?
