Page number indicator

A feature of my MS Word 2003 documents is that a page number is shown at the
foot (not in the document itself) that shows where the current page is in the
sequence of the document; e.g. 34/56.
This feature has disappeared from my programme and I cannot find a way to
get it back. It is important to me in my work that I should regain this
feature.
Can someone please help me?
 
Your description is a tad vague.
1. If you cannot see the Footer (and Header) area(s), the see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm.
2. If you do see the Footer area, double click in this, does the Header and
Footer Toolbar appear, the Page number icons are on this toolbar.
3. Insert, Page Numbers - does this give you your page numbers back?

If none of the above helps, can you describe exactly what you can and cannot
see or do.

Are you saying that you are now using Word 2007? If so, right-click the
status bar and use the context menu to display the information that you want.
 
Oops, forgot about the "recently changed to 2007" possibility, good catch.
Lets see what comes back.
All the best

Stefan has suggested you may have upgraded to Word 2007 and provided a
solution in that case. If you are still using Word 2003, possibly you are no
longer seeing the status bar. If so, check the box for it at Tools | Options
| View. If you are seeing the status bar but not the page numbers, perhaps
you are in Normal view with background repagination disabled?

Thank you, it was the status bar that was missing - I don't know how it
disappeared, I didn't purposefully remove that setting. (I am still with
2003).
Thanks to all for your responses.
