Re: Getting Page numbers right in Word 2003...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It could be that there's still a "wandering frame" there, but it could also
be that Word has added an indent or moved a tab stop to accommodate the page
number frame that used to be there. If you don't have the ruler displayed
(but surely you do), then display it, click in the header paragraph, and
look at the ruler for clues. FWIW, I find the display of text boundaries
(along with nonprinting characters) very helpful in troubleshooting such
issues as well.

Still working at it, Suzanne, & even though i've printed out & read your
page at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UnaccountablyIndented.htm

and am following your instructions, i have an "unaccountable indent" not
in the text, but in the header itself. After i've got your six points all
lined up and pressed delete, i can't get my running head on the odd page
to right align. there's a little maybe 3-character wide space hugging that
space, so that the header looks amateurishly aligned.

Is there any solution for this, short of forking out $$$ for Word 2007.
which i gather also has some problems...?

all the best!

I'd be grateful if some of you could tell me what I am doing wrong with
my page numbers in WORD 2003. I am ending up with page numbers at BOTH
the top and the bottom of a long book manuscript with many separate
sections. I obviously don't want them in BOTH places & would prefer to
have them at the bottom, out of the way of my headers. This could be
because I originally inserted page numbers from the INSERT/Page numbers
command but am now using headers, though I haven't so far used any of the
page numbering features of headers & footers.

Also, some of my chapter titles as headers are printing over the page
numbers, making a mess of both.

I expect the answer is simple, & my problem is due to my just beginning
this long formatting task & not having yet digested all the rules. But
any help you could provide could save me a lot of time.

Thanks in advance!

alex
