The numbers are in both the headers and footers. The document is for use in India, where page edges are likely to be damaged in use, so having them at the top & bottom means they'll last longer.

Are you saying I should type 202F,Alt-x each time?

What screen should be open in front of me when I do Shift-F9? I tried that combination when my MS Word document was open and I was looking at the end of the file on page 305 i.e. the index. But nothing happened when I pressed Shift-F9.

Thank you, I understand now and should be able to take it from there.
