Footer Page Numbers in Protected Document

I am attempting to protect a document that has page numbering, such that the document cannot be changed by those to whom it is sent (tools-protect-comments only with a password). When I view the document in this mode, teh page numbers in teh footer of each section are all stuck on the same page number. I can use teh Protece-Forms choice,but then the bookmarks/hyperlinks in the document don't work. Is there a way to protect the document from change (without the option of changing and renaming), while still preserving the funtion of the footer page numbers as well as the bookmark/hyperlink functions?
 
First, this does not _really_ protect your text from being changed. The only
true protection from that is to not let anyone read it.

Second, take a look at <URL: http://www.addbalance.com/word/pagexofy.htm>
or <URL: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/PageXofY.htm> for
information on Page X of Y problems. See if any of that helps.

Finally, you can get macrobutton fields to mimic hyperlinks in documents
protected for forms. If you want to try that, write back.

While Charles is correct in that protection for forms is not true
protection, the immediate question may be addressed by running a macro on
exit from one of the formfields on the last page to update the fields in the
document - and thus the page numbers. The code at -
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm - should do the trick.
