SYMPTOMS

When you print from Notepad in the Danish-language version of the products listed in the "Applies To" section at the beginning of this article, you may find that page numbers do not appear on any pages of the printed document.

This issue also occurs when you print from Notepad in the English-language version of the products listed in the "Applies To' section at the beginning of this article where Danish language support from the Microsoft Windows Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) is installed.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the letter and character combination that Notepad uses to print page numbers in the footer section of the document is incorrectly set to " &s" (without the quotation marks), instead of "&p" (without the quotation marks).

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, change the footer in Notepad to use "&p" (without the quotation marks). To do so:
  1. Start Notepad.
  2. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
  3. In the Footer box, type &p, and then click OK.
Important: You must perform this procedure each time you restart and print from Notepad.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
