Default Page Numbering

Can someone please help me? I am trying to insert page numbers in a 125 page
document. I want these page numbers to appear in the center, at the bottom
of the page. I have indicated the position as bottom of page (footer) and the
alignment as center. However, the page numbers will insert on the left or on
the right but they will not insert in the center. In some of my other
documents they inserted in the bottom/center where I wanted them, but they
would not insert in the correct place in this particular document. What have
I done wrong?

Did you use Formatting toolbar or Ctrl+E to center the page number after
inserting it in the footer area?

My posting was a rhetorical question implying the solution. select the page
number and Ctrl+E or use formatting toolbar to center the page number.
