Separating Headers From Page Numbers on Same Line
This is my first time at writing a book. I want my page numbers on the
outside of my mirror-margined pages. I was able to do this fine, but when I went back to put in my title/chaper headers on the odd/even pages (I want these centered on the page), the page number moved to the center also. When I moved the page number back to the outside, the title/chapter moved over also. How can I correct this so that the page number stays on the outside and the title/chapter stays in the center? This is for Word 2003. Thanks so much for any help! |

Separating Headers From Page Numbers on Same Line
Word's built-in Header and Footer styles have two built-in tab stops, a
center one at the center of the line and a right-aligned one at the right margin. Assuming you have already checked "Different odd and even" on the Layout tab of Page Setup, in your Even Page Header, click the Insert Page Number button at the left margin, then tab once to the center tab and insert your chapter title (save work by using a StyleRef field for this). In the Odd Page Header, tab once to insert the book title, then again to insert the page number. -- Suzanne S.

Use the odd/even headers/footers from file page setup. Left align the
header line and use a centre tab for the bit you want in the centre then a right aligned tab for what you want on the right and no tab for what you want on the left. Setup the odd and even pages separately. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mattajang wrote: This is my first time at writing a book.
