I'd be grateful if some of you could tell me what I am doing wrong with my
page numbers in WORD 2003. I am ending up with page numbers at BOTH the
top and the bottom of a long book manuscript with many separate sections.
I obviously don't want them in BOTH places & would prefer to have them at
the bottom, out of the way of my headers. This could be because I
originally inserted page numbers from the INSERT/Page numbers command but
am now using headers, though I haven't so far used any of the page
numbering features of headers & footers.

Also, some of my chapter titles as headers are printing over the page
numbers, making a mess of both.

I expect the answer is simple, & my problem is due to my just beginning
this long formatting task & not having yet digested all the rules. But
any help you could provide could save me a lot of time.

Thanks in advance!
