Page numbering woes
I am working on a lengthy word document. I just used the "insert page number" function in an attempt to number the pages (more than 400). Only page 1 showed a page number (i.e., 1). Any suggestions as to what might be wrong and how I can solve this problem and have all pages numbered? Thanks, in advance.

Stefan's response is correct.
In Word, things to go on multiple pages must usually be in a header or a footer. This includes the page number field. Headers and footers are section parts in Word and there can be multiple headers and footers.
References:
Activate the header/footer view, for example by double-clicking the document header and verify that all the headers/footers in all sections do contain a PAGE field. In Word for Windows, you can use Alt+Shift+P to insert a page number field at the insertion point.
