Selecting this button turns invisibles on and off.<BR/><BR/>To add page numbers that will stay in place: From the menu, select View. From the drop-down menu select Header and Footer. Insert your page number and any other information you want on every page into the Header.<BR/><BR/>Word will automatically number your pages (select the # button) and you can have your first page headers and footers different than the rest of your document, or you can choose to make left-hand and right-hand pages have different headers and footers (if you were creating a duplexed document).Michael Brackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01072019804281421944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10282376.post-44653755893993912492008-01-07T19:52:00.000-06:002008-01-07T19:52:00.000-06:00Okay, so how do you turn on invisibles?
