Insert textboxes or frames containing SEQ fields.

On the Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog, check the Different Odd and Even
item. You will then be able to set up individual headers and footers to be used for the odd and even pages. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

The answer to your question depends on whether you're talking about page
numbers, paragraph numbers, or something else. Page numbers are easy: a { PAGE } field can be placed anywhere on the page. The simplest approach (though I don't recommend it for a book) is to use Insert | Page Numbers and choose the Outside placement. The numbers are inserted in frames, which can be dragged anywhere you like. If you insert the numbers in the actual page header, you'll need to check "Different odd and even" on the Layout tab of Page Setup. You can put the numbers in the margin of the header area by giving the header paragraph a negative indent on the appropriate side; if you need them to be in the side margin lower on the page, you'll need to put them in a text box or frame. If you want paragraph numbers in the margin, just give the paragraph a negative first-line indent (or negative indent if it's a heading style). If it's some other kind of number you're talking about, see http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/MarginalText.htm for some other suggestions. Note that if you end up using a SEQ field, you could save a SEQ field in your framed style as an AutoText entry. -- Suzanne S.
