To insert a page number into your Word 2007 document, you have two options

1) Double click where the header, or footer is on your document.  This will activate the Header & Footer Tools Design tab in the Ribbon.  Then, Page Number should appear as one of the features available.  Click on the Page Number drop down menu and you have a number of options.  At this stage you need to decide whether you want the page numbers to appear in the header of the document, in the footer of the document, or in the margin of the document.  Once you decide that, select you preferred page number style and formatting.

2) Click on the Insert tab in the Ribbon, and then the Header & Footer group.  You will find the Page Number drop down here.  Again, select the location that you wish the page numbers to appear, and the style and formatting.

    How do you have both a page number and a footer? In proper manuscript format, such as for a novel, you are supposed to have your last name, a slash, and then the title or an abbreviation of the title on the left of the top header. On the right of the header, on the same line, you’re supposed to have the page number, starting with page 2. Unfortunately, unlike MS Word 2000, Word 2007 doesn’t want to do that; the header on the left upper corner disappears when you put in a page number, or vise versa. I know that I figured this out once before, probably using a Dummies book from a library, but now I can’t remember how to do it. I’d really appreciate it if you could explain.

  2. well i’m typing a book (:( its so hard cause i wrote most of it on paper first) how do I put the page number on both sides? I mean its a book its not like they have 1 1 2 2 3 3 or something its usually 1 2 3 4 5 6…yeah…so how do you do it??
