If you select Use Default Numbering in the PAGE Field Options dialog
box and then click Add To Field, the following message may appear:
This action will not change the default page number format. To change
the default page number format for this section, use Insert Page Number
and choose the Format button.
Clicking OK three times will insert the Page Number Field.
CAUSE
When you select the Use Default Numbering setting, Word uses the
default page number format that you set in the Page Numbers command on
the Insert menu. No field switch is associated with the default
setting. Word uses the default numbering setting regardless of whether
you select Use Default Numbering in the PAGE Field Options dialog box.
By design, the Use Default Numbering setting confirms that you want to use
the default settings.
MORE INFORMATION
When you insert a PAGE field using the Field command on the Insert menu,
you do not need to click Options and change any settings in the PAGE Field
Options dialog box if you want to use the default page number settings for
the current section.
The only time you need to change the settings in the PAGE Field Options
dialog box is when you want to change the page number formatting from the
default settings for the current section.
