Page Layout View
A header is something that appears in the top margin of a document. A footer is similar, but appears in the bottom margin. For specific distances from the page you would have to know what style you were using, like APA (the header would be right justified and have a shortened version of the title and the page number) or MLA (the header would be right justified and have the author's last name and the page number). Different companies usually have templates or custom style guides that specify what should be in a header. ...if you are just writing for fun, you can put whatever you want in the header area, of course. :) Most word processing software has an electronic header. For instance, in Microsoft Word, you would choose View --> Header and Footer to see the header and footer area and to put something there.

To place a header in a Microsoft Word document using Microsoft office 2007, go to the insert tab. Near the middle of the tab is an option for either a header of footer, click the one you want. If you are using and older version of office, I think you go to view in the toolbar and click the header/footer menu, but I haven't used the older office in a while, so this might be wrong.
Insert the page number like you normally would, then click View>Header and Footer. Scroll down to the footer, select the number and change its colour the way you would change any other text's colour.
