I want to add a page number in word 2010, but there are  no options of varying page numbers. What it says is just More page numbers from office.com and save selection as page number(in grey). Nornally, wasn't it supposed to show all the pictures of the options listed?

So, I wanted to find More Page Numbers from Office.com, but there were No Online Content Available.

Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | For home | Windows

The problem was fixed by making "C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033"unhidden, although I didn’t delete the “Building Blocks.dotx” mentioned inhttp://www.conetrix.com/Blog/post/Fix-Missing-Insert-Page-Numbers-in-Word-2007.aspx.

But why aren't there more Page Numbers from Office.com?

Anyways, thanks for all the help.

    I do not have a folder C:\Users[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033, only an C:\Users[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1036, in which Building Blocks.dotx is located. I have tried tempering with it in any possible way (rename it, delete it, even renamed another empty file after it and placed it there after deleting it, so word could not recreate it) but the problem remains. Word recreates the file every time (when it can, and even when it can't, it makes no difference). The problem remains. I have tried creating a folder 1033 as well, but word ignores it (Building Blocks.dotx is recreated in 1036 always, and 1036 is recreated when I delete it). What else to do? (And don't tell me use script or keyboard shortcuts to insert page numbers. I want to fix this!).

    Also you can delete the old profile and create a new one. Just remember to save all data.

    Word 3.0 was on the Macintosh. It think it was around 1992. Also I think 3.1 and then jumped to 5.
