[AccessD] OT (kinda) - 2nd time in as many days.

Actually Arthur it's a new feature called predictive page numbering. I think
you'll find that at some point you THOUGHT of typing a 3rd page, Word picked
up on this but the software has a bug that fails to detect a last minute
change of mind. It's really your own fault for being indecisive.

Listen baby, I got this printout from Word -- you would think that a few
testers have shaken her stirrups, so to speak. But this escaped from Word
2010.

Page footer:
Page 3 of 2.

I cannot explain this. One would assume that about 100K testers were at
work upon this product, so how did this escape them all? Perhaps it demands
that you actually print a document that comprises at least 3 pages, which I
can in the interest of trees, forgive. Pixels on the other hand are
recyclable, and hence one might read and then re-read an article, and then
click Next on the preview page, only to discover that there is no Page 3 of
2. And than what shall I tell my grandmother? It's all the fault of (enough
slagging of Bill Gates, it's Ron Allen's time! Despite his Jimi Hendrix
museum -- and I am probably the most devoted subject to the memory of Jimi.

I digress. How did "Page 3 of 2" escape the millions of beta testers of
Word? I cannot even begin to guess how this happened. Possibly they (the
beta testers) were born on another planet. That's my best guess.
