When I print a word document with page numbers, the numbers do not
print. Instead I get this

{page }

What can I change (select or unselect) to get page numbers to print?

TIA

jeannine's solution, Alt F9, does nothing for me.
 
Tools > options > print > uncheck include with document 'Field codes'

That works but now the displayed page on the monitor has the {PAGE }
showing instead of the page numbers. It seems to be just one thing
after another. Fixing one problem just uncovers another.

I have a Word 97 instruction book but it is silent about this problem.
My present version is 10.0.2627.0 which came with MS Office XP
Professional for Service Pack 2 (I do have SP2, BTW).
 
For this you do need Alt+F9 (or clear the box for "Field codes" on the View
tab of Tools | Options).

Thanks Suzanne. Clearing the 'Field Codes' box on the View Menu did it.
Alt-F9 does nothing for me. When do you use (apply) it? What needs
to be on the monitor when you invoke it?
 
Alt+F9 toggles the display of fields from field codes to field results or
vice versa.
