19 Numbered Default Page

As already mentioned, the Default page needs to be modified in order to accommodate

page numbering. For this you can either activate a Header or a Footer. Footers used to be

very popular, but many students now prefer headers to accommodate not only the page num-

ber but also extra information such as his or her name and matriculation number.

To insert a header right click your page style Default, select the tab for Headers and tick

Header on. There are a few other things you can do to make the header look nicer such as

increasing standard spacing of 0,5cm or, using the button More, adding a line between header

and text, but these are pretty self explanatory.

Having done this, your page will now

have an empty Header. To insert the

page number in the Header, place

your cursor inside it and go to Menu

Insert. Choose Fields › Page

Number. Note that you do want Page

Number and not Page Count – the lat-

ter stands for the total number of pages your document contains.

You will probably want your Page number to be right aligned. In this case just click on it once

and press the button for right alignment in the menu (see illustration 20).

The Header can contain other information besides the Page number. You might want to

Insert › Fields › Other › Document › Chapter › Chapter number as well as

Chapter name. You would leave this information left aligned, remove the middle tab stop

(the ┴ in the ruler bar) by pulling it down with your mouse and then press the Tab key to

shift the page number to the right margin. Every time a new chapter starts, the Header will

change along with it.
