Page number bg
When you insert page numbers using the Insert menu, the numbers are
inserted inside of a text box. I would delete the text box, and use the Header and Footer toolbar to add page numbers. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Page number bg
1. If you used Insert | Page Numbers to insert your page number, they're in
a frame, and when you click on them, perhaps you're seeing the frame border. For one reason why it's better not to insert page numbers this way, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm 2. If the "square background" is grey, then you're seeing field shading (a page number is a field). You can control when field shading is displayed on the View tab of Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you both so much, Dawn and Suzanne! It was the View tab, Highlighting
problem...and yes, I should use the Header and Footer to insert page numbers. It's much safer, huh? |
