Footer format

R

Ray

I would like to format a footer that on the left hand to show the file name
and on the right hand side to show the page number and total pages. I know
how to set the file name, page number and total pages but do not know how to
configure them placing on left margin and right margin. Can someone advise
how to accomplish it.

Thanks,

Scott

First, set the justification to full (right and left) justification. Reset
the tabs with either the ruler or the Paragraph menu so there is only one
tab, at the right margin. This tab should look like a backwards L. If there
are any other tabs showing on the ruler, drag them off and they will
disappear.

Insert the file name at the left margin, tab to the right, and insert the
page number and total pages. That's it.

Nope. Justification should remain as left-justification.
There are preset tabs in the header and footer styles for center and right
margin. If you have changed your page margins, you may need to adgust these.

The built-in Footer style (which is applied to the footer paragraph by
default) has a center tab stop at the center of the line (3" in the default
Blank Document) and a right tab stop at the right margin (6"). If you have
changed your margins, you will need to move these tab stops (by sliding the
markers on the ruler). If you're not using the center one, you can delete it
so that you need Tab only once (insert only one tab character) to get from
left to right.
