Answer 2

Use the Header and Footer command.

1. Click on "View" > "Header Footer"
2. A window will appear where you can choose what information you want to write in you header box (the same is true with the footer). You can also select where to place the page number and whatever.

*Header = located at the top of the page
*Footer = located at the bottom of the page

Answer 3

Do you mean that you want to put your Name and number in a header above your normal Text on the Page? If so use the Header/footer under the View heading .. you can put it up as a tool bar on your word tool bars.

Answer 4

With your document open:

Click on Insert -
Click on Auto Text -
Click on Header/Footer
Click on Author, Page #, Date
Click OK

Your information will automatically be added to the document and will appear on the top left corner of the page

Answer 5

You can add page numbers and other information, such as the date or time, to a document's header or footer at the top or bottom of the page. Information stored in headers and footers appears dimmed and cannot be modified at the same time as the body of the document.
To work in the header and footer areas, click Header and Footer on the View menu, which opens the Header and Footer toolbar. Microsoft Word automatically places the insertion point in the header. To work in the footer, click Switch Between Header and Footer on the Header and Footer toolbar.
Add basic page numbers or Page X of Y page numbers

Note The page number is automatically inserted and aligned on the left margin of the header or footer. To move the page number to the center or to the right margin, click in front of the page number, and then press the TAB key.
3. Click Close on the Header and Footer toolbar to return to the body of your document.
Add the date or time
1. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
2. On the Header and Footer toolbar, do any of the following:

Answer 6

Go to View, then Header & Footer. It should be in the header, and say your last name and then the page number ON EACH PAGE.
For example,
pg. 1: Smith 1
pg. 5: Smith 5
Just make sure it is on every single page & is right aligned. Good luck!

Answer 7

If that doesnt work. go to insert--page number--position-top of page. then once it is on there click on the number and type your name before it. it automatically puts it on the top right. no need for the tab button

Answer 8

Go to insert at the top of the toolbar and click on it you can add your name and page number as well

Answer 9

You would type in the name etc and move it to the right leaving some space for number. Then go to insert and choose numbering and where you want to place it. Good luck.

Answer 10

You can do that by clicking on View, then Header and footer, then a rectangular square will appear, insert whant you want there, then close.
