The footer margin will determine that. But changing the header and footer
margins will not change the location of existing page numbers inserted using
Insert | Page Numbers, which is just one reason not to use that feature. If
your page number is actually in the header or footer, it will be affected by
the change. To remove the existing page number frames, see

I see that, which is helpful for my page numbers when they appear in the
upper right hand corner. However, I'm not sure that it addresses the 1"
that
I need at the bottom when the page numbers placed in the bottom center.

Have you tried looking in Word's Help? If you search for "header
margin,"
the first hit is "Position headers and footers." The header and footer
margins are set on the Layout tab of Page Setup.

Is this the same as the gutter margin? I don't see anywhere that I
can
change the header/footer margin. I also read that I should just
change my
bottom and side margins to increase .5" to accomodate this.

I need my page numbers to appear within a 1 inch margin. My text
is
appearing in this margin, but my page numbers are outside of it.
Does
anyone
know how to format the margins for where the page number will
appear?
