So sorry - I hate to be forced to reopen threads a while after I declared the issue solved myself ...
There has been a misunderstanding: My wife wanted the page_numbers to be at the end of a page, not the top. In theory, that should be an easy-enough change: The thing about the section_breaks which I did should still be the same, I should only have to remove the header_line and introduce a footer_line and include page_numbers ...
only, as is so often the case, for some reason it doesn't work. Word seems to not know where I have put the section_breaks, it messes up the numbering somehow.
I remember you told me to do something different from what I did - I guess that would work, I'll try - only how can I get rid of all the section_breaks now so I can begin that once more?


P.S.: Okay, I have removed them all, but still it is messy. I end up having the first page numbered, the second one blank or/and only the first page of my "main section" numbered, no more ... somehow I don't like Word ...

Thanks a lot!


P.S.: Okay, I think I made it. My solution is probably quite messy, every pro would probably go "Oh my" - but it seems to work and as only the printed version will be handed in anyway, no one will notice.
