inserting page numbers on top outside of page
If your question is to show a page number in the header, in the right or left margin, use the host table concept to position the page number. For example you want the page number in the right upper corner. Create a one-row table with two (or more) columns. Put the Page field in the right cell, and resize/position the table so the right cell "sticks out" in the right margin. The table borders/shading options can be used to add some nice-looking typographical effects. See the sample chapter (pdf) of our eBook on http://www.masteringword.eu/download...formation/?300 for an example of this principle (although in this book the page number is placed in the footer's right margin, not in the header's).

Thanks, Henk57.
I had not thought of doing it that way, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks also for the headsup on the website. Have a great day!

inserting page numbers on top outside of page
You can equally well just give the header paragraph a negative left/right
indent. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Henk57" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Suzanne! That does seem a little more simple. Does this mean that
the automatic numbering feature would not be operative, i.e., would I have to manually number each page? -- Thanks, Richard "Suzanne S.

inserting page numbers on top outside of page
Of course not - a {Page} field inserted in the header view will
automatically number wherever it is on the page. Incidentally the default header style includes two tab positions, one centred at the centre, one right aligned at the right margin. So tabbing twice would automatically right align the number to the right margin. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Richard wrote: Thanks, Suzanne!

Not to mention that if you set the right tab to the right of the margin, you
don't even have to give the paragraph a negative right indent (won't work on the left, though). -- Suzanne S.
