Inserting automatic page numbers

To insert page numbers automatically, first you need to enable headers and footers, then insert where you want the page number to go.

You will need to be in Print Layout View first. It's the third page icon on the bottom left (see images below) in Word 2003, and in Word 2007 is the first icon on the bottom right, next to the zoom in and out controls
In Word 2003:
Click on the View menu, then select Header and Footer. Both will then become visible at the top and bottom of the page, and a toolbar will appear
While you can use the autotext drop down menu on the new toolbar to insert a template, to set up things manually, simply click the icon of the page with a single hash in it to enter a dynamic page number
