Default Getting Page numbers right in Word 2003...

Still working at it, Suzanne, & even though i've printed out & read your
page at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm

and am following your instructions, i have an "unaccountable indent" not in
the text, but in the header itself. After i've got your six points all
lined up and pressed delete, i can't get my running head on the odd page to
right align. there's a little maybe 3-character wide space hugging that
space, so that the header looks amateurishly aligned.

Is there any solution for this, short of forking out $$$ for Word 2007.
which i gather also has some problems...?

all the best!

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!
