Change insert page number default from bottom or page to top of pa

[Guest]

I have Word 2003 and I want to change the default setting for insert pages. I
like to put my page numbers at the top of the page and I have to manually
change the setting from the default bottom of the page every time. TIA.

Create a template (not normal.dot) with the page number field(s) already
inserted and create your page numbered documents from it.
or
Intercept the InsertPageNumbers command with a macro to set the page numbers
position in the dialog to top of the page eg

Sub InsertPageNumbers()
SendKeys "{UP}{UP}{TAB}"
'SendKeys "{UP}{UP}{TAB}{UP}{UP}{TAB}"
Dialogs(wdDialogInsertPageNumbers).Show
End Sub

The alternative remmed out line will put the page numbers in the centre
rather than at the default right of the page header.
