Is there anyone who can tell me, in a simple fashion, how the heck to get a header AND page number on every page of a mss. in Word or Open Office? I used to have no trouble doing so, before they dumbed down Word with pictures instead of easy to find instructions. I have figured out how to put in page numbers and a header, but one cancels out the other and/OR they do not appear on every page. I finally had page numbers on every page but the first, which is okay, but when I added a header, it only showed on the first page of "section 1" and "section 2" despite my choosing a header for all pages. And, as I said, the header inserted wiped out the page numbers. It is most frustrating. I tried Open Office to see if it was easier to understand, but when I called up "Header" it had a long list of "convert" with numbers and no explanation of what they mean except when you click on one it warns the text will be lost! What text! I haven't even typed in header text yet when it says that. I hate the newer versions of Word!

Thanks in advance!
