Page numbers on the corrent side for double sided printing.Ī different border on each odd page, and a different border for each even page. (Or, double clicking anywhere your footer isn't.It's quicker hehe) Click Close Head & Footer on the right of your ribbon. Do the same on the other page, with your alternate picture/border. It's handy because then you can edit it's thickness/colour as you would any other word shape. Drag it out so it is the size of your page, and makes a border. You can pick any shape (or clip art picture if you'd like, or import your own) and cover the whole page with it. Now depending on what border you are using. (If you aren't, just go to Insert, Footer, then go to the bottom and click Edit Footer.) The first method uses a background image of a custom decorative. Make sure you are still in the Header & Footer Tools Design Tab. In this video I show you how to add a decorative custom border in a Microsoft Word document. (think when you read a book, the text is on the same corner when you flip it, so the page number has to change each odd an even page in order for the page number to always be on that outside corner) Now, the page number is on alternating sides on each odd and even page. If you are creating a recipe book are you:Ĭlick Different Odd & Even Pages under the Options group if you haven't already. Footers are great for cheating when it comes to borders/changing things on every odd and even page throughout a whole document! And it's also great because it means you can't accidently mess it up while typing/adding photos, unlike just using a shape as a 'background'.
