When people insert page number in a document the page number will appear on the header in the upper right hand corner of every page.
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.
A header or footer is text or graphics that is usually printed at the top or bottom of every page in a document. A header is printed in the top margin; a footer is printed in the bottom margin. Headers and footers can be as simple as the document title and a page number, but you can create headers and footers that contain graphics, multiple paragraphs, and fields. You can specify a different header or footer for odd and even pages or use a different header or footer for the first page of a section or document. If you divide a document into sections, you can use different headers and footers in each section. For example, you might want the header for each section to reflect the title of that section.
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.
Go to insert at the top of the screen and click on page numbers , a window will come up that will ask you where you would like the numbers to appear . You can also go directly to the header, or more commonly the footer, and enter them directly there, using the facilities to do so.
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.
A header is in the margins at the top of a page and usually gives the page number, author, title of the paper/book/chapter, or some variation of that. A footer appears in the margins at the bottom of a page and can give the page number or citations in scholarly articles
The body of the text would generally not go in your header or footer, as it is reserved for small pieces of information such as; name, page number and title.
A footer will contain your name, date and page number. A header will contain title and heading
What will appear in the header and footer when a person prints a web page will depend upon the web browser that they are using. Usually the website address and page number will appear in the header and footers.
To specify a page number at the bottom of a document page, you can usually do this in the header or footer section of your word processing software. You can insert the page number using the "Page Number" option and align it to the bottom center or bottom right of the page. This will ensure that the page number is displayed at the bottom of each page.
Headers and Footers are used for automatically putting things on every page on a document or on alternating pages, without having to put them in page by page. In a book you will have the number on every page. That is done by putting them into the Footer or Header. Sometimes you will see the name of the book or the chapter on every page. That is done with Headers and Footers. Sometimes the pages will alternate, with different things on odd and even pages. Sometimes you have the name of the book on one page, and the chapter on the other page, when you have the book open. Using Headers and Footers you can put other things automatically for every page, like the date or the time, or the author of the document.
You can insert certain specific text with the Insert Autotext. The next 3 are the page number, the number of pages in the document and the format of the page numbers. Often you will see something like "Page 5 of 20". The 5 there comes from the page number and the 20 from the number of pages. The next 2 insert the date and time. The next one accesses the Page Setup. The next is the Show/Hide document text which can be used for putting in watermarks. If you have different sections in the document they can have different headers and footers, like for different chapters. You can also have the same ones carry on through different sections. The next icon allows you to link the previous section to the current one. The next icon allows you to switch between the Header and Footer area. The last two allow you to move to the previous and next sections. Finally you have the Close to close the toolbar.
