Placement of page numbers - Please help
Hello,
I am creating a manual in Word, and I would like some help with page numbering. Sample layout described below: Title page €“ no number Second page €“ display page 1 (bottom right corner) Third page €“ display page 2 (bottom left corner) Fourth page €“ display page 3 (bottom right corner) etc How can I control the placement of the pages number? Your help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ed |

In File Page Setup Layout check 'Different first page' and 'Different
odd and even'. Make sure your document or template has at least three pages, and go into header and footer view. Insert page number (using button on the Header and Footer toolbar) on the odd and even footers, leaving the first page footer blank. (If you use the standard footer style, you may want to adjust the tabs so you have just the right hand tab position at the right margin, then on the even page enter a tab before the page number to force it right). (This is slightly more longwinded than using Insert Page number from the menu, but if you are producing a manual I think you'll need full control and understanding of your header and footer to save pain later.) -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Eduardo" wrote in message ...
