How center page numbers/WORD. Stuck on left/Insert icon no good
How do I get my page numbers in a WORDdocument to go back to the center?
They originally came there when I clicked on the Insert icon and chose the format in that little box. (Which showed samples, etc.) Somehow I've hit something accidentally that's gotten them STUCK on the left side (though they're still at the top) and I can't find a way to MOVE THEM OVER. When I try doing the Insert thing again, the computer just ignores it. In the center there's only - - Of course I can always put them in with a pen after I get my letter printed out I spose. But I'd rather learn what to do! I'LL BE AMAZED IF ANYBODY ANSWERS THIS! Sincerely, P.S. The page numbers are also very faint compared to the rest of the narrative. |

If you used Insert | Page Numbers, go back and delete the numbers you
inserted; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm for instructions on doing it properly. When you're doing this, you'll have the header pane open. In the header paragraph, either press Ctrl+E to center the paragraph or press Tab once to get to the center tab stop. Then click on the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar. You can treat this PAGE field just as you would any other text; you can format the font and paragraph as you would anything else; you can add other text if you like, etc. -- Suzanne S.
