: : : (My op system is windows XP pro & WORD 2000, my night class
is

: : : 98)
: : : When I get the" House Style Sheet" for various test papers
the

header
: needs
: : to
: : : contain canditate name and centre number(alignment centre)
: automatic

: English
: : format
: : : (alignment left) automatic page number(aligned
right)etc.(this
: always
: : : varies
: : : with each test paper)my problem is that I cannot insert most
of
: these
: : : items
: : : without the whole thing moving with the insertion of the
second
: : requested
: : : alignment.I can acheive the above by a mixture of tabbing and
: using

: : : space
: : : bar but I dont think the Examiners when my final test comes
and
: they
: : : toggle
: : : on the pilcrow to see my formatting will appreciate my method

: : : inserting
: : : required alignments! Can anyone
: : : tell me what I am doing wrong ? I have read the article on
: using

: : &
: : : footers at earthlink.net but it does not seem to address my

: : or
: : : maybe
: : : the way I am doing the insertions is ok. Would someone please
