You can align the text of odd page footers (or headers) to the right
and the text of even page footers to the left. To position page numbers outside the margins, use a negative indent (a negative right indent for right-aligned text and a negative left indent for left-aligned text). If your footers (headers) also contain other data, you may have to use tab stops instead of paragraph alignment. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "tinhorn" wrote in message ... Thanks, but y'see, using the header/footer bar, I can specify left or right justification, but not outside. Outside is an option only when using the Insert feature. I'm formatting books and the first page of a chapter could be either odd or even numbered. Unless you know where to find the "outside" option from the header/footer toolbar...

Since you have "Different odd and even" enabled, you can position the page number differently on odd and even pages (corresponding to the "Outside" option in the Page Numbers dialog box). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "tinhorn" wrote in message news Yes, those were the first things I checked, too. I got numbers to appear by deleting them all, then inserting them from the header/footer toolbar instead of Insert, Page Number function, but I had to center them - no "outside" option. |
