File, Page Setup

Page Setup is divided into four parts: Margins, Paper Size, Paper Source, and Layout.

Margins will change for Top of form, bottom, left and right. It also adjusts the page for binding width, or gutter. The adjustment can be made to where text begins after the header and before the footer.

Paper Size screen is as follows:

The adjustments can be made for different forms, as well as orientation of printing. So you can choose from Letter, Legal, Envelopes, etc., as well as create a custom form. Change the orientation from Portrait to Landscape.

Paper Source helps with particular printer needs, as to which bin to feed from for the first page and other pages. This is very dependent on the printer selected.

The Layout screen provides the following information. As a default setting, how do you want to handle section breaks, or headers and footers per section or per document.

You can specify identical headers and footers on all pages in your document, or you can specify different contents for each section of the document. Odd and even pages can have different designs if you wish.

Header and footer editing always takes place in Page Layout view. You work right in the header and footer area of your document after double-clicking to undim it.

To enter a header that repeats on all pages in your document:

1. Choose View, Header and Footer.
2. The Header and Footer toolbar is displayed.
3. Create and edit header text as you would any other. You can paste graphics, apply styles, and otherwise format your work normally.
4. Use the automatic page-number, time-stamping, and date-stamping features.
5. Double-click in the main document to return to work there.

Create Footers the same way, except that you work in a Footer window.

Once created, you can double-click in the header/footer area to edit.

Page Numbers in Headers and Footers

1. Open the header or footer by double-clicking on it in Page Layout view.
2. Click on the page numbering button in the Header/Footer toolbar. Word will insert a number in your header or footer at the insertion point.
3. Page numbers can be stylized, repositioned, surrounded with borders, accompanied by text, and otherwise embellished.

Using Insert - Page Numbers:

1. Place the insertion point in the section you want to number.
2. Display the Page Numbers dialog box by choosing INSERT, PAGE NUMBERS.
3. Word suggests placing page numbers in the bottom-right corner of your document (1/2" from the bottom and right edges of the paper), but you can specify different positions with the Position and Alignment drop-down menus. Watch the Preview area as you work.
4. Choose whether you want a page number on the first page by clicking to add or remove the corresponding X.
5. Either click OK or click on the Format button to review other page numbering options.
