Word 2007 header with page number won't work
In Word 2007, when I insert a header and try to add a page number to it, it
blows the header away. How can I insert a header, add a page number, and have no page number or header on the first page. I've tried everything. Thanks in advance. Below is the workaround I'm using but surely there's a better way. To insert a page number in the top right-hand corner of the page, remove the page number from the first page, and create a second page header with text and a border: 1.From the Insert tab, Header & Footer group, click Page Number. 2.Click Top of Page. 3.Click Plain Number 3 from the gallery of designs to position the page number in the top right-hand corner of the page. You should now be inside the Header section with the page number showing and the document dimmed. Note: If the wrong page number is displayed, do this: From the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Page Number. Click Format Page Numbers. In the Start at box, type the desired number; click OK 4.From the Page Layout tab, click the Page Setup Dialog Box Launcher, and then click the Layout tab. Under Headers and footers, check Different first page; click OK. You should now be in the First Page Header section and the page number should be gone. Note: If the page number is still in the First Page Header, select the page number and cut it. 5.Scroll down until you see the header on the second page, and click inside it. You should be inside the Header section of the second page with the document dimmed. 6. Press Ctrl-L to align the text at the left. The page number will temporarily move to the left. 7.Type any desired text. 8.Press TAB twice to move the page number to the right margin. 9.Type Page and type a space. 10.Press END to move to the end of the page number in the header and press ENTER 1 time. 11.From the Home tab, Paragraph group, click the list arrow to expand the border list. 12.Click Horizontal Line. 13.Press Ctrl + A to select all text and change any fonts as desired, or select text individually and change any formatting as desired. 14.Double-click anywhere outside the First Page Header pane inside the document area to close the Design tab and to return to the document or click the Close Header and Footer button. The header should now be dimmed and the document should be active. Note that the first page header is blank and the second page should now have text, the page number, and a bottom border. 15.Double-click anywhere inside the header to reopen the header and the Header & Footer Tools with the Design tab, and double-click anywhere outside the header to close it. |
