Now you will have only one footer repeated on every page of the document so you can add the page number and see it on every page.

Thank you very much for your reply, Andrew. Just to give you the flavor of why I am so frustrated, your solution, from the very first step, does not match the commands on my toolbar. I do not have an item for "Page Setup," only for "Layout." And the "Different Odd and Even" and "Different First Page" options are not within the Layout menu, but within a menu that comes up only after I insert page numbers.
Anyway, that said, I was able to insert page numbers (thank you), but now I have two other issues:
1. I do not want a line separating my text from the page number. That line is forcing text from one page onto the next, messing up the formatting and pagination that I have spent hours and hours working out. How can I get rid of it?
2. This is a
book I am writing, and I do not want the numbers to begin on the first page. There was always a very simple method of doing this and now it is making me pull my hair out. Any tips?
