Abed, thanks for the info but I do not really know how to do section breaks, I tried to look around in Word Help-the thing is Abed in the previous version of Word it took two whole steps to arrange for what I want and now I'm supposed to put in section breaks? Anyway its not that I am stubborn or want it a certain way but since I have sent my last post I played around with a five page document and after switching between putting in the page numbers and switching between Insert and Page Setup I got exactly what I wanted. This is how I've been doing it-playing around until somehow it worked out. What is so irritating is that I do not know exactly why or how I am getting the page numbers to click in the way I want. I wrote a very un-diplomatic letter to MS Word Help bitterly complaining about those MS engineers taking a perfectly good, functional, time saving way of doing things and changing it into something so time consuming and befuddling. Those guys are idiots.

Just wondering if that worked for you.

It doesn't help. I know no reason why. This is what MS Help tells you to do. Thanks anyway.
