Default In Page Number 'Position'

[Montserrat]

I always want my page number to be in the upper right hand corner. In
MS2001, Page Number 'Position' is always defaulted to 'lower right corner'.
and I have to change that each time I paginate.

Is there a way to change the default in "Page Number"?

Hi!

Can you go to Insert > Page Numbers ? If you can then when you use
that to enter the page number you should be able to drag that frame (it
enters the page number in a frame) to wherever you'd like it to be.

Or can you go to Insert > Page Numbers > Position and choose where you
want the page numbers to default to?

I hope this helps!

Rafael,

As you know, page numbers can be applied without using headers or footers
(via Insert menu -> Page Numbers) ‹ a text box is inserted instead. However,
incorporating page numbering as part of the header or footer makes it much
easier to control the formatting via styles, since this method inserts a
normal page number field (the appearance of which can be changed globally
via styles) rather than a text box (which can¹t be changed via styles).]

To apply page numbers to headers or footers using styles:
View menu -> Header and footer -> type up the header or footer and add the
page number via the ³#² button on the toolbar that appears.

Further information is under the heading "Page numbers in headers and
footers" in some notes on the way I use Word for the Mac, titled "Bend Word
