How do I add page numbers to my work?

Question

I have Microsoft Works and have written a document to which I need to add page numbers.

On my old PC I would go through format etc etc, and a screen would pop up asking where I wanted the numbers on the page and in what style etc.

On this one I hit 'page number' and it simple produces the number 1 wherever my cursor is on the page at the time, with no numbers on the following pages. No option screen comes up.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Answer 1

I guess you are using Word or a derivative that comes in MS Works.

In this case you have to choose 'Header and Footer' from the 'View' menu. This will put the cursor in the header (above the page) and popup a little toolbar with a button that switches between header and footer.

Hit that button and the cursor should appear at the bottom left of the page. If you want your page number to be centered you have to press the Tab key to put the cursor in the middle of the page.

Now you hit 'page number' and bob is your mother's brother.

However I might be completely wrong about using Word in which case you might want to give a bit more information.

Answer 2

You have to add page numbers in a footer according to the Help function on Works Word Processor.

Answer 3

I give up. I don't use Works and obviously neither do a lot of other people. Searches for Works come up Word!

Can only suggest you try all menu options. See if you can customize Tools as we do in Word. If there is a menu item called Tools, click it and look for options or customize.

Sorry.
