I clicked on the "insert page numbers" on the headers and footers toolbar and
got the numbers inserted, but on all the two digit numbers the second digit
is UNDER the first digit. How do I get them to reside side-by-side as
neighbors? Thanks.

Since you specify the Header and Footer toolbar, I assume you're using Word
2003 and earlier, and since you specify the Insert Page Number button on
that toolbar, I assume you're actually inserting a simple PAGE field. The
only thing that would cause a PAGE field to be broken across two lines would
be very bizarre paragraph formatting: indents so huge as to permit only one
letter per line. This seems very unlikely.

OTOH, if you use Insert | Page Numbers (using the Insert menu), you get the
PAGE field in a frame. Although the frame width is set to "Automatic," so it
ought to adjust to the length of the page number, sometimes this doesn't
work. In such cases, you may have to enlarge the frame manually. When you
click on the page number, you should be able to see the frame borders and
sizing handles so you can drag it larger.
