 - Microsoft Word 97 for Windows 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you use a macro to insert page breaks in a document and then return a page
count by using the BuiltInDocumentProperties property, the number of pages
returned may be incorrect.

CAUSE
=====

The document needs to be repaginated before you return the number of pages.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, use the Repaginate method to force document
repagination before calling the BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyPages)
property. For example:

      Sub GetNumberOfPages()
         ActiveDocument.Repaginate
         MsgBox ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyPages)
      End Sub

STATUS
======
