On the Insert tab, click Page Number, point at the location in which you
want to insert the page number, then select a page number from the gallery.
If you want to insert a page number in your own position, right-click the
header or footer and click Edit Header/Footer. Then on the Design tab, click
Page Number, and use the Current Position gallery.
To return to the document, double-click the body of the document.

Word 2007 under Win XP
I want to be able to insert a page number in a footer in a spot of my own
choosing. This was relatively straightforward in previous versions of
Word. Now, though, I don't seem to be able to do it without having to work
through one of the built-in styles that Word 07 offers with
headers/footers. Is there a way past this, or am I stuck with what Word
offers? Seems a little confining.
Thx, as always, for help.
