Thanks.

This sounds like a page refresh issue in some versions of Microsoft Word, when you create an ODS RTF file. This behavior used to happen to me a lot when I was using Office 2000 and 2003. It doesn't happen that much anymore when I use Office 2007.

You have to force a repaginate or a refresh of the page numbers in Word when you open the RTF file. I believe there's a function key for that. I always just scroll down and then back up ... I need to check the output anyway.

This Tech Support note documents the issue and suggests changing to Print Layout:

Hi:
I have -never- seen mis-numbered pages with PDF and tabular output that uses in-line formatting for page x of y.

You will not be able to use in-line formatting for page x of y page numbering if you have a SAS/GRAPH job because the SAS titles and footnotes are embedded in the graph image and SAS/GRAPH does not use ODS ESCAPECHAR. See this other forum posting for more information:

You -can- use ODS RTF and the NOGTITLE and NOGFOOTNOTE options in order to cause RTF to create page x of y page numbering in a document that contains SAS/GRAPH output, as shown in the answer to your other post.
