Thanks, I worked this out. Now I want a Template/Style for
the page numbering.
I am in the Word2003 "Styles & Formatting" screen and I have
selected a "New Style" and in the dialogue box I have named
this new style as "Numbered Pages". The "Style Type" is
paragraph, The "Style Based On" is Normal, and the "Style
for following paragraph" is Normal.
The "Formatting" is set to Times New Roman 10 font.
Where is the Page Numbering selection? At the bottom there
is a "Format" button which does not contain it. The "Add
to Template" option doesn't explain which template (is this
the Normal one)? What does "Automatically Update" mean?
There is a "Styles & Formatting" section at the top of the
screen with various old failed attempts at formatting, but
there seems no way to delete these.
Please help, Frank.

Log on to your computer as Frank and then start Word.
With the blank document on the screen, select from the
Format menu, select Font and then select the desired font
and size and then click on the Default button and when the
message box appears advising you that you are about to
change the default font to , etc. click on the Yes button.
I would suggest that you do not insert page numbers into
the normal. dot template as it can create problems.
Better to create a new template that contains the page
numbering that you want and then use that template as the
basis for documents that you want to create with that page
numbering.

I want to reset the 'normal' template to default to "Times
New Roman" 10point font, and the pages numbered centre
top.
This seems to work when I set and reopen Word2003 from
the Administrator Template vis:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates.
But it will not work when I open Word2003 normally from
the desktop.
I have deleted the "Normal.dot" from the following and
copied in the "Normal.dot" from the Administrator above:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates.
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates.
C:\Documents and Settings\Frank\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates.
All to no avail.
Can anyone explain, simply as to a 5 yo, how to change
the template settings?
Desperate, Frank
