Help with adding page numbers

S

Can anyone please tell me how to add portrait page numbers on landscape pages? I've tried a few things I've found through google but I can't seem to do it! Mine is ms2010 if that makes any difference.

Thanks.

Nevermind me, I found a really simple way!

I'd be interested in hearing what you did Skig. I had similar issue a while ago
http://www.postgraduateforum.com/threadViewer.aspx?TID=18936, the replies I got were really helpful. Did you do something different?

S

Hi Ady, I just had a look at the replies. I'd tried to add the text box but couldn't get it to work for some reason!

My way is much simpler but this may only work with ms2010...

Go to insert, page number, page margins, pick 'border, left' under 'plain number'. This will insert your page number where it should be but the rotation will be following the text rather than the page if that makes sense. But if you then rotate the text, you're sorted!

Hope this helps!

thank Skig, it didn't work for me probably as I'm stuck in the dark ages of MS2003!! Not changing though until after I submit!

Sorry, Ady. I have an older version on my laptop so I'll check if there's anything similar later on.
