For more information about the support options available from Microsoft, please see the following page on the World Wide Web: http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/refguide/default.aspTo 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 STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
