Page Numbers, Headers, and Footers

A header or footer is text—such as a page number, chapter title, or date—that appears at the top or bottom of every page. To add headers and footers, click Header And Footer (View menu). You’ll see boxes for entering the headers and footers.

Don’t see your headers and footers?   Click Page Layout (View menu). Add the file name and path, author’s name, or running page numbers (such as page 2 of 5)   Click the Insert AutoText button on the Header and Footer toolbar, and then click the AutoText entry you want. Want to leave the header and footer off the first page?   Click the Page Setup button on the Header and Footer toolbar, and then click Different First Page on the Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog box.

A Shortcut for Inserting Page Numbers

Click Page Numbers (Insert menu), and then select the options you want.

What if you end up with two sets of page numbers?   Your template might already have preset page numbers. To fix this problem, click Header And Footer (View menu), and then delete the unwanted page number.
