A document which has not been modified in several months suddenly stopped printing page numbers correctly in the footer.
This is a pdf of the document from several months ago
And here is what the odt file looks like now when I open it.
If I use the footer menu to insert page number it continues to display as you see in the above image.
I’m not aware of any changes to my machine other than Windows updates.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
Your screenshots were taken with View>Formatting Marks disabled and View>Field Shadings disabled.
It is possible that View>Field Names is ticked, thus displaying the field name instead of the field value.
Also paragraph text is not positioned the same relative to page boundaries. This suggests that something changed on your computer: OS, font collection, LO release, … To eliminate document-internal mishaps, attach a sample file (reduce the number of pages and use dummy text if you think contents is private) for analysis.

I feel like such a fool! View field names was ticked! I don’t know how or why and it didn’t even cross my mind to check it. Thanks very much for your help!
