Default numbering on shorter pages

On MS Word 2003, I am formatting a 5.5 x 8.5 book.
How can I get the page numbers to come in at 7.75?
I tried bringing the bottom 'margin' up to 8.5, but
the numbers still come in at 10.5 on the 11" vertical page.
Actually I've tried a lot of things!
Footers also seem to want to hit the bottom 1/2 or inch of the 11
available.
Landscape for 2 pages isn't an option, because I may go for a 6 x 9
format.

How to number so that they show within the 8.5 space on a 'sheet'?

TIA!

Sylvia M.

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, increase the footer margin.

Yesss!
Thank you!

Can I make the numbering invisible on the blank pages inserted between
some parts to make next part title on odd side?
I want the numbering to be continuous and included, but just not be
visible on those few pages.

If you insert an Odd Page section break, Word will insert a totally blank
even page, which you will not even see unless you view "2 pages" in Print
Preview. This blank page does not have a header or footer. The page will be
counted in the numbering (Word will insist on it--you cannot start a section
with an even number if you have an Odd Page section start).

If you haven't already, you may want to look at
http://daiya.mvps.org/bookword.htm, which addresses a number of issues
involved in creating a book in Word; see also
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...rontMatter.htm.
