Page number functions in Word are dimmed and don't work. What now

[A Tai]

I use Office Home & Student 2007. I cannot insert page numbers into my Word
document. I could not find Microsoft Office's "Add-ins" either. What can I
do to restore the page numbering function?

Place your cursor in a header or footer.

A page number can be inserted anywhere; it doesn't have to be in the header
or footer. A PAGE field inserted in the document body (using "Current
Position") will display the current page number.

Will your answer? If the page number button is unavailable, there must be
some explanation other than that the insertion point is not in the header or
footer.
