Default Word 2007 Fromatting

OK Here is my problem. I am using Microsoft Word 2007. I am writing a rather large paper for college. I finally figured out how to insert page numbers in the footers (starting with the 3rd page of the document) the first couple of pages were not to be numbered.

Now I am finding out a different piece of formatting I must do according to my college. The first page of each Chapter must be numbered at the bottom center of the page (in the footer) but each page after that of each chapter must have the page number at the top right of each page.



Then when I get to the next chapter... page number goes at the bottom middle again and then so on and so on.

Any idea on how I can accomplish this sort of formatting

Default Page numbers and cetera

What you need is sections, defined by section breaks. Each section can have its own formatting, and a section can be set to have a different first page. If you have not worked with sections before, look them up and read carefully. They're not difficult to create, but there are a few aspects which are not self-evident. Note the following:

1. It is the section break which FOLLOWS a section, i.e., at the end of the section, before the next, which contains the formatting for the preceding section, just as the final paragraph mark in a single-section document (a plain, unsectioned document) contains all the formatting commands in the document.

2. In 2007, the section break you need is on the Page Layout tab. You do not want a mere page break, as on the Insert tab. You want the Section Break, Next Page.

3. If you click on the blue Page Setup link at the bottom of the Page Layout tab, and then the Layout tab of the dialogue box, you;ll find the Different first page check box, and, below, the Apply to, in which you want Entire document.

I hope this does the trick for you.
