getting normal template to insert page numbers Word 2007
Hello, I would like all new blank documents to have a page number inserted
bottom right, and I cannot seem to find a way to do this. I have to do it every time. Isn't there some way to change the normal template? I tried understanding a previous message to someone else on a related topic, and gave up. thanks, -- Bonnie |

You can do this by opening normal.dotm and make the changes you require, but
I would urge you not to as it can have unfortunate effects with other documents you may create, such as labels. Instead create a new template with the layout you require. Then create a macro similar to Sub MyNewDoc() Documents.Add Template:="D:\Word 2007 Templates\TemplateName.dotm", NewTemplate _ :=False, DocumentType:=0 End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm substituting the path and name of your new template, and add the macro to a button on the QAT. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org blshep wrote: Hello, I would like all new blank documents to have a page number inserted bottom right, and I cannot seem to find a way to do this.

getting normal template to insert page numbers Word 2007
Dear Graham, I'm sorry, I only know the basics of Word, although I have used
it for years. I have never used macros and have no idea what to do with these instructions. Where do I type the Sub NewDoc etc.....? And what is a QAT? And I am unlikely to ever want to print labels, so could you tell me how to open normal.dotm? -- Bonnie "Graham Mayor" wrote: You can do this by opening normal.dotm and make the changes you require, but I would urge you not to as it can have unfortunate effects with other documents you may create, such as labels.
