Page numbers are usually placed at the top or bottom of each page of the manuscript, either in the center or right side of the page. In the following example, we will place the name of the first author and consecutive page numbers at the top right corner of each page:

• Open the word-processor file of your manuscript, place the cursor to the left of the manuscript title.
• View the manuscript in NORMAL mode, by clicking on VIEW and selecting NORMAL.
• Click on VIEW and select HEADER, as shown here:
  

• This opens the Header formatting page on top of the manuscript. This page has three icons on the left. The left icon places consecutive page numbers, the middle icon places the current date while the right icon places the current time in the header. The following figure shows the Header formatting page:
  

• Set the Margins to Right or click TAB twice. This will move the cursor to right margin.
• Add the surname of the first author followed by et al., Page, as shown in the following example:
  

• Click on the page number icon, identified in the following illustration:
  

• You can also format the added text. In this example, block the text of the author and et al., Page , and click on FORMAT, CHARACTER, as shown in the following example:
  

• Select ITALIC.
• Close the Header formatting page.
• You can view the page number by changing to VIEW, PAGE.

You can, of course, place the page number at the bottom of the page instead of the top. To do that, replace HEADER above with FOOTER.
