Word permitts pagination at the top or bottom, not in the margins. I find
having page numbers appearing in the center, outside margins of books
(fiction & non-fiction) more easily read and located faster.

Why the need? Some page numbers are not easily apparent because some
illustration, photograph, artwork, etc. extends to page bottom, outside any
footer. I have yet to find such instances of this difficulty with page
numbers on the center, outside margins.

Also, when opening a book, page numbers on the center, outside margins jumps
out and is more visibly appealing.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you very kindly!

You can put the page number anywhere you like. Anchor a textbox to the
header or footer, and put your { PAGE } field in that.

If you put the page number in a text box or frame anchored to the header, it
can appear anywhere on the page.
