Creating a new Normal template with the page numbers you want is fairly
easy. First, though, you should make a backup of your normal.dotm template.
Based on Windows 8.1 and Word 2013, there are some steps to follow
1. Make sure you can see hidden folders and files on your PC. I will asume
you know how to do that.
2. Close Word.
3. Go to C: \ Users \ Username \ App data \ Roming \ Microsoft \ Templates.
Arrow down to Normal.dotm and rename it to something like OldNormal.dotm.
Note that if you simply delete this file, Word will automatically create a
new Normal.dotm template when you open Word.
4. Open Word.
5. Start a new blank document however you do that.
6. Make any changes you want to anything. That includes page number styles,
font, etc.
7. Unless you want it, delete any visible text you may have typed as you set
up the things you want files to be based on.
8. Go to the File menu and choose Save As.
9. Not sure what you'll see, but you may only see a list of folders to
choose from, etc. Ignore that and tab to the Browse button. Press enter.
10. Tab to the File Type combo box and arrow down until you hear the file
type called Word Macro-Enabled template (*.dotm). That's what you want.
11. In the filename box, type Normal and press enter.
12. You have now saved a new Normal template that will be used for every new
document.
Note that if you mess up or panic or want to revert to your old file, just
go back into the Templates folder and rename your OldNormal.dotm back to
Normal.dotm. Or, just delete the Normal.dotm file you have and let Word
rebuild one from its default settings.
For those who want to know wen their templates get changed, you can also
have Word tell you when changes are made and it will ask you if you want to
save changes to the template. That's typically if you create macros, etc.
That setting is under the Save options

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Numbering in Word 2010
Hello. When I used Word 2003, it was so easy to install numbering protocols
on the permanent template. It took about 2 minutes, tops. Now in 2010,
what a nightmare. After 3 MS Disabilities desk specialists failed
miserably, how are we expected to accomplish this previously routine task?!?
It is imperative that I have pages numbered at the bottom center of all
documents that I generate. I was reminded by an editor that if someone
accidentally dropped my hard copy submission, how would anybody ever
straighten out the mess? Some professionals prefer to read a lengthy
document that is not stapled or in a notebook, for example. Some of my
documents are in excess of 200 pages+. As was said previously, when I
write, the last concern I need to concern myself with is placing a page
number at the bottom and which one should it be besides.
This gives you a little background why I must one way or another have the
ability to print page numbers on all pages of every docx painlessly. For
this reason, this numbering feature must be installed on the permanent
template, it seems to me.

Not as bad as placing footnotes, something I haven't had to do in more than
30 years, but I take the point. It should be possible to set up the project
the way you want it, and just go. The only thing on your mind, once you
begin, should be saying what needs to be said in the best way possible. I
haven't fooled with page numbers for a while, but sounds as if I need to
look at that again.

One of the advantages of working on a computer is that you have the ability
to get something done with a keystroke rather than making some monotonous
project out of it. When working on a multi-page project you have enough on
your mind without numbering pages.

Flor,
I was waiting for someone to write to me.
The time you spent writing the docs and proof reading them, if you type in
the page number as you go along, Everything would have been done.
Excuse me for my back yard mechanic skills.

That would quickly become tedious in a multi-page document.

Hi,
Why don't just edit the page number yourself and move on.

PS It may be practical to practice in a word document before creating the
template.

Hello Liuda,
You may wish, or need to create a new template.
Create a New Template
1. Press alt then f for file, then n for new, 2. Tab down to Blank Document.
3. Press right arrow to My Documents and press enter.
4. arrow around to find blank document
6. tab down past okay button to create new template button 7. Here, anything
you do to the document, (such as inserting page numbers,) becomes part of
the template.
8. press enter and then insert t to confirm it is a new template.
Do you need instructions for numbering pages?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Numbering in Word 2010
I use Win 7, JAWS 16 and Word 2010.
I need to change the permanent template so that a number is put on every
page, at the bottom in the center. I would prefer, if I do not have a
number on the first page, if this is possible.
Does anybody know how I can make this permanent change on the template? I
tried everything imaginable, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance for your help.
