header and pagination

[Barb]

How do I put in a text header on the left and page numbers on the top right?

 

[Barb]

This is in Word 2007. When I add one, then the other, the first one disappears.

Type the header, press Tab once or twice (depending on the length of the
header) and insert the PAGE field.

when you select the 3 column option just type in your information, and double
click in the body of your document.

Huh?

That didn't work. What I ended up doing was to insert pagination first, then
go to the next line and put in my header on the left. Thank you, though.

This suggests that you are using building blocks instead of creating your
header manually in the header pane, which requires either inserting the PAGE
field by hand or using Insert | Page Number | Current Position | Plain
Number. Alternatively, you can use the Blank header building block (though
that's rather pointless, and you end up with an extra, empty paragraph).

Or, as someone else suggested, you can instead choose the Blank (Three
Columns) header building block, but you still have to use Insert | Page
Number | Current Position | Plain Number (and you have to delete the content
control in the center).

Use a right aligned tab at the right margin. Type the text. Click tab then
insert a page number field.
or
Use a two column, one row borderless table in the header with the right cell
aligned right.

The Header style already has a right-aligned tab stop at the right margin.
But remember you're talking to someone using Word 2007, which makes
inserting a PAGE field needlessly complicated.
