Chapter 11. How do I...

The next part of KWord documentation is designed to provide examples on how to solve specific problems using KWord.

Each section is a self contained list of steps, and refers the reader to other sections of the documentation for more complete information on different aspects of KWord.

These examples were selected to:

You can use these examples as recipes for your document, or modify them to create the look or content you desire.

How do I get the pages numbers on the outsides of the pages and the title in the middle of the header (like a novel)?

This first example shows how you can combine tables and variables in a header to create a common format to your document.

Note

Your document must be at least 2 pages long before you begin this procedure.

  1. Select File->Document Information from the menubar.

  2. Click on the About tab.

  3. Click once in the text box labeled Document Title with the left mouse button and enter the desired document title.

  4. Click on the OK button.

  5. Select Format->Page Layout... from the menubar.

  6. Click on the Header and Footer tab.

  7. Select Different header for even and odd pages.

  8. Then click OK.

  9. Select View->Header from the menubar.

  10. Move to an odd numbered page in your document, and click in the header box.

  11. Press F5 to insert a table in the header.

  12. The insert table dialog will appear. Change the initial values to:

    • Number of Rows: 1

    • Number of Columns: 3

    • Cell Heights: Manual

    • Cell Widths: Manual

    • Make sure the table is Inline.

    Then click OK.

  13. Click in the header again with the left mouse button, to show the table.

  14. In the right column of the table, click with the left mouse button.

  15. Select Insert->Variable->Page Number from the menubar.

  16. Click the Right Text Align button () on the toolbar.

  17. Click once in the center column with the left mouse button.

  18. Select Insert->Variable->Property->Document Title from the menubar.

  19. Click the Center Text Align button () on the toolbar.

  20. Move to an even numbered page in your document, and click in the header box.

  21. Press F5 to insert a table in the header.

  22. The insert table dialog will appear. Change the initial values to:

    • Number of Rows: 1

    • Number of Columns: 3

    • Cell Heights: Manual

    • Cell Widths: Manual

    • Make sure the table is Inline.

    Then click OK.

  23. Click in the header again with the left mouse button, to show the table.

  24. In the left column of the table, click with the left mouse button.

  25. Select Insert->Variable->Page Number from the menubar.

  26. Click once in the center column with the left mouse button.

  27. Select Insert->Variable->Property->Document Title from the menubar.

  28. Click the Center Text Align button () on the toolbar.

That completes the procedure. Your document now has the title of the document in the center along the top of each page, and the page numbers on the outside corners of the pages.

If you want page numbers on the bottom of the pages, you can use Footers instead of headers in your document.

To adjust the look of the tables, including where their margins are, see the section entitled Tables.
