As some of you may be aware, APA calls for a running head on the cover/title page of the document that has the words "Running head:" in front of the header, while the header on subsequent pages is supposed to have the header only, without "Running head:" in front.

APA also calls for the page numbers to begin on the cover/title page (upper right).

I have been able to get my Word 2003 to do only one or the other. I can have the "Running head:" in front of the header and the header without that in subsequent pages but if I try to get the numbering on that first page, "Running head:" disappears.

I've tried following the related tutorials I could find on YouTube but without success.

If anyone could tell me how to do both things for the same document, that would be most appreciated.

The only reason your 'running head' is disappearing is because you're using the 'top of page' page numbering option to apply the numbering. Select the position you want the page # to appear at abd use the 'current position' page numbering option instead.

That happens in Word 2007 and later but not in Word 2003. It Word 2003, the Insert Page Number menu choice inserts a frame with the page number at the chosen location and will move other content out of the way if necessary.

Nevertheless, DBin needs to learn to use Alt+Shift+P to insert a page number.

Page Numbers in Word 97-2003

That worked like a charm, thank you so much: most appreciated!
