MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / December 2004Standard option of page number
By inserting page numbers most of the times you use; insert>page numbers>press ok, and your done. The page number is standard at the bottom (in the footer) because that option is standard highlighted. But I want to use the header as standard option to be highlighted, so that the user is 'forced' to place the page number in the header. Where can I alter this? Kind regards Arthur If this is a particular job, simply create a template for it with the page number already placed where you want it.

When I use the option that I already put a page number in this template, then every document has standard a page number in it. >-----Original Message----- >If this is a particular job, simply create a template for it with the page [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >. You don't seem to understand the concept of templates. Why do you want this function in normal.dot? You should not be making documents from normal.dot, but from templates appropriate to the documents.

I don't totally understand what you are saying. This phrase > But I want to use the header as standard option to be > highlighted Makes no sense to me at all. You want the menu command Insert | Page Number to instead open up the header/footer, and bring up the h/f toolbar? There is no simple option you can set to do this. You could remove the Insert | Page Number command from the menu, forcing the user to use the other method (which they won't know, and will cause lots of confusion). You could write a macro that does what you want, and either set it to intercept Insert | Page Number, or put it in the same location so that people will think they are clicking Insert | Page Number when really they are calling your macro. If you are very clear about what you need to have happen, people here may be able to help you, or know where to send you for help. HOWEVER, please do not mess about with people's Normal.dot. You can affect the menus/toolbars they see by creating a global template, not screwing up their Normal.dot.

So to change this option in Word I have to alter not something in a template but in the program Word self? I thought that this would be easy... does someone has an another suggestion? or is it truly impossible? >-----Original Message----- >I believe what he wants is not to put the page number in the header/footer [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > >. This is an inbuilt function. You can replace the inbuilt function with a macro of your own, by giving it the same name as the inbuilt function, which in this case is InsertPageNumbers Record the steps you want in a macro and save it with that name. Something like Sub InsertPageNumbers() ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldPage ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument End Sub should do the trick - http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > Exactly, I want to change the default setting of > the "Insert page numbers". [quoted text clipped - 69 lines] >> >> . Hey all, I thought so, I have considered the option to replace the built in function with a home made macro, but I want to keep "word" as clean as possible. But when this is the only way, a macro seems to be a great solution. Thanks for your help, good advice ps have a happy new year! >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldPage > ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument >End Sub > [quoted text clipped - 75 lines] > >. Though I swear I had read it several times and tried really hard to understand, suddenly after reading your message it is perfectly clear to me. Poor poster must have had no idea what I was talking about.
