| What I am about to show you will NOT
work if you have not set up your paper into separate sections, so if
you did not read Lessons
1-3, go back and read them now. Never ever ever use Page Numbers
from the Insert menu again. To insert page
numbers we will now work directly with our headers and footers.
-
Thus the first thing we need to do is to show our headers and
footers. Go
to the menu bar and press View,
and then Header and Footer.
This not only will show you your header and your footers, but
will automatically position your cursor in the header of the
page you are currently working on.
-
Also, you should now see the Header and Footer
toolbar:

-
You might have notices that one button on the Header and Footer
toolbar is shaded. This button allows you
to control how the header (or footer) of each section links to
the header (or footer) of the previous section. When it is
shaded, you will
see the words Same as Previous, at the
top right hand corner of your header (or footer). This means
that the header (or footer) for this section will be like the
header (or footer) of the section before it. Since this is NOT what you want,
click on the button. Now the button is no longer shaded and the
words Same as Previous no longer
appear at the top right hand corner of your header (or footer).
-
You must perform the
same action with all the headers and footers in your paper. Word
has three buttons that will facilitate your movement:
Switch Between Header and Footer
for a
given section
Show Previous
takes you to the
previous section
Show Next
takes you to the next
section
BEFORE YOU DO THAT, if you have not yet written any of
the text of your paper (which is probably the case if you have
been following this tutorial from the beginning), be forewarned
that right now you will not be able to see
Section 3. So either wait until you have written some
text to insert the page numbers, OR insert a page and a half of
paragraph marks in the body of your paper. This will allow you
to see Section 3 so that you can
insert the page numbers correctly (steps 5-8 below). Once done
inserting the page numbers (after step 8), you can safely erase
the paragraph marks without loosing the formatting you just did.
-
Once all your header
and footers are disconnected, it is time to insert your page
numbers. I suggest that you start by positioning yourself on the
first text page, that is the page after your title page,
to
insert your first page number.
Thus position yourself in the correct location,
that is that is the Footer of
Section 2, and press the
Insert Page Number button.
-
You will most likely find out that the
number that has just been inserted is a 2. Now
you really want a 1 on this page, so
to change this you will have to format your page numbers by pressing the
Format Page Number
button.
This will open a dialog window where, under Page numbering
you can set
Start at to
1 and then click on
OK. Now you will notice that your page
number changed from a 2 to a
1, just what you wanted! Make sure this
number is centered according to Turabian 14.9, and you are done with
section 2.
-
Now position yourself
in the Header of Section 3,
and inset a page number by pressing the Insert Page Number
button (you
only insert it once for the whole section). Don't forget that
since section three is the rest of your paper (excluding
bibliography or appendices), the page numbers need to right
justified according to Turabian 14.9.
-
You have now
successfully inserted page numbers. Double check that there are
no page numbers anywhere on the title page, or at ten top right
corner of the first page, or at the bottom of the succeeding
pages. If that is the case: CONGRATULATIONS!
