Page numbering

How do I format page numbers as a default, so I don't have to insert it every
time?

Hi dreamer,

Open the template(s) you use (normal.dot if you don't use other templates) and add the page numbers there.

New docs then will have them.

Do *not* add page numbers to Normal.dot. They will mess up labels (among
other things).

HiKlaus, I tried that and it doesnt' seem to work. I opened normal.dot and
insertie the page numbers. THis is my new updated computer a newer version of
MS word. I have gone into all the format default such as font, page setup,
but the page numbering doen't seem to work with normal.dot. Thanks I will
keep trying. I have only had this new computer for about a month. Dreamer.12

Note Suzanne's warning...

I don't quite understand what you're doing with font and page setup.

You can either use "Insert > Page number" (which I avoid since it inserts the page numbers in a frame, and that seems too complicated and not helpful), or "View > Header and footer", click in the footer (if you don't want the page number in the header anyway), and then click on the button with the page and a # in it on the "headers and footers" toolbar.

If you have successfully added page numbers to your template, new documents should have the page numbers.
Old documents aren't changed... You'd need to open them and add page numbers yourself.

If that doesn't help: What exactly "doesn't seem to work"?

Regards,
Klaus
