Hi all, Um, there's only one caveat about adding page numbers to books. Usually the title pages and prefices and contents and so on, all the before stuff either is un-numbered and/or may be numbered with roman numerals. However, if you just want the page numbers to match the printed pages that Word sees, then this is a good option. It's in the insert menu, under page numbers. There's a dialog that specifies location and format and all. It will add them sure enough. Ann P.
