Actually, I think the link doesn't explain all--you want to turn on
Different First Page Header (File | Page Setup, Layout tab), then go to View
| Header/Footer and enter the numbers where you want them (click # on h/f
toolbar), separately in the First Page Footer and the regular Header.

If you already used Insert | Page Number, delete that number, and be sure to
select and delete the gray frame that Word put around the number.

PLEASE HELP. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

What I mean is, I'm writing a term paper and I need to change the position
of
numbers according to each page... for example:

CHAPTER PAGE


-1- (at center and bottom)

and continuing on the following pages of the chapter, I need to have the
numbers at the top right hand side of the paper.

....... -2-
....
..........
....

and like that

but when I try to do it, Word likes to apply it to all pages of the
document. And, of course, I can't just white it out, it'll look tacky


please help

it's very annoying.
