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.

PLEASE HELP. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

You *don't* use Insert | Page Number.

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.

The articles do explain all, in the sense that all the required information
is present, but it can be difficult to winkle out if you start without any
sense of what you're looking for. In addition to the articles Daiya
referenced, this one may be helpful:

The simplest method is to use a pair of conditional fields.

Centred in the footer
{IF {Page} = 1 "- {Page} - "}

Aligned right in the header
{IF {Page} 1 "- {Page} - "}

Use CTRL+F9 to insert the field boundaries.
