Can anyone tell me how to insert page numbering in the footer of a Word 2008 document correctly?
I’m trying to make the page numbering field form part of the text object of the footer, immediately after the static text "Page " (i.e. inline with it), but I know that inputting the page numbering field in the way I currently am does not do this. It does put page numbering on the page, but somehow floating in its own space.
tell application "Microsoft Word"
.......
set myFooter to (get footer section 1 of active document index header footer primary)
set content of text object of myFooter to "Page "
set font size of font object of word 1 of text object of myFooter to 10
make new page number at myFooter with properties {alignment:align page number right}
......
end tell
I think I need to find the end of the text object and insert the page numbering field there, but not sure how to do this.
Would I also need to involve the paragraph object to align the whole thing to the right?
