[mso] Re: Inserting giant page numbers in background?

Sorry Robert I like to attach example document and cannot - such is life.

Go to Header or Footer on your insert autotext if you have MS defaults you 
will see PAGE as an insert - it is an automatic page number or just use Page 
of the header foot toolbar (an icon). Select the Field for Page and Change 
Font Size to be whatever you like 72 or 127 or whatever fits - change font 
to grey shade percentage you like and use Tables Toolbar to rotate the PAGE 
field when you have position it on either left middle or right of page.

On page 2 past a copy of the PAGE field as formatted (I always use Different 
First Page) now you will have 1 and 2 in grey scale font size you select 
left centre or right on page in background header or footer.

See how you you go - an example is so much easier....

Subject: [mso] Inserting giant page numbers in background?


I have made some sheets labeling toys, and would like to put a page number
in the background as large as possible. I tried to insert the number "27"
(without quotes) in the background utilizing footers, turned counter
clock-wise 90 degrees.
Problem: "27" gets on every page.

Question: How do I print page numbers in the background, watermark-like so
that it is a grayish color and does not result in the same number on each
page? Do I need to make all 137 pages separately?

Thank you,

Robert
