I am using Word 2007 to produce documents with uniform formating.  A template 
was created for me with line art and line numbering down the left side.  A 
header includes the page number and the document title.  A footer contains 
the same line of text on every page.  The template was created using Word 
2003.  When I open the template with 2007 the page numbering is page 1 on 
every page.  When I change it on page 2, the line art and numbering down the 
side disappear.  What is happening?  I have tried working in compatability 
mode and the same thing happens.

Whoever created the template for you (doubtless a designer with no actual 
knowledge of how Word works) presumably just typed in a page number instead 
of inserting a { PAGE } field (you can confirm this by pressing Alt+F9; if 
you still see 1 instead of { PAGE }, then it's a typed number). If you then 
try to insert a page number as a building block, that Page Number building 
block replaces the existing header. You have two options:

1. Use Insert | Page Number | Current Position to insert just the page 
number at a designated place in the header.

2. Select the existing page number and type PAGE to replace it. Then select 
PAGE and press Ctrl+F9 to convert it to a field and F9 to update.
