SET THE ATTRIBUTES

"In a recent SmartSuite tip, you explained how to set a page number in a Word Pro header. I have also found it helpful to note that after placing the cursor in the header, you should first set whatever text properties you want the page number to use before creating the actual page number."

Run Word Pro and open a blank document. The easiest way to insert a page number into the Word Pro header is to click the header, then click the Insert Page Number button in the Word Pro toolbar (its icon is a page with a purple "1" in the bottom right corner).

You first click in the header and press Alt-Enter to open the Properties dialog box. There you set the attributes you would like to use for page numbering. When finished, click the X in the upper right corner to dismiss the dialog box.

Now that you have set the attributes, click Insert Page Number to insert the page number.
