MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / August 2005Alligning page numbers in a header
I'm trying to create a header with text that is centered, but I want the page number to the extreme left. Using spaces seems kind of crude, because when the page number gets to 10 and 100, it's no longer consistent. I tried using a text box (beause it "floats") but it puts a visible border around the numbers. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. Align the page number at the left as usual, then use a center tab for the header text. > I'm trying to create a header with text that is centered, but I want the > page number to the extreme left.

Now for odd-numbered pages I want to align the number to the right and have a chapter title in the middle. How would I go about that? (When I hit tab, it throws off the center.)

Turn on different Odd and Even headers and set them up differently, repeating the chapter title in the middle. Unless you changed the tabs, you should be able to tab once to center, type chapter title, tab twice for right-aligned, enter the page field.
