I can now confirm that workaround #3 (turning off background printing) also works under Word 97 SR-2.

>>Today I found the answer. It is a bug in Word, documented in Q189175 ("WD2000 - Incorrect SectionPages or NumPages When Printed") dated March 17, 2000. The article says that the bug is fixed in Office 2000 SR-1. It also lists three workarounds: 1) turn off show/hide; 2) turn on reverse printing, or 3) turn off background printing. I found that turning off background printing works, I didn't try the other two.

>>The article says this bug applies only to Word 2000, but it is evidently a bug in Word 97 SR-2 as well. I tested the workaround under Word 2000 at my office. I will test it at my client's site under Word 97 SR-2 tomorrow.
