Word 2007 under Win XP

I want to be able to insert a page number in a footer in a spot of my own
choosing. This was relatively straightforward in previous versions of Word.
Now, though, I don't seem to be able to do it without having to work through
one of the built-in styles that Word 07 offers with headers/footers. Is
there a way past this, or am I stuck with what Word offers? Seems a little
confining.

Thx, as always, for help.
