[comp.sys.next] Writenow - How in the "heaven" do I get page #s on my output?

kamisett@enuxha.eas.asu.edu (Krishnaprasad Kamisetty) (03/14/91)

Hello guys,

I would appreciate if someone could take the time to tell me how
I could get page numbers on my output using Writenow. I see a
menu option "Insert page number"..That doesn't help because it
just inserts the pagenumbers into your text. Hummmm! I only 
seem to rememeber this weakness of Writenow when I need to 
write something serious like research proposal etc.  Weird
are the ways of the world!!

Well, have you tried to put the Insert Page Number command into a Header or
Footer by any chance?

WriteNow ain't the greatest, but it ain't that bad either.

Create a header, and issue the command there. This will place a header
on every page with the page number in it...

I have used writenow exactly once for writing, but I found out quickly
that you can put page nuimbers by editing your headers or footers,
like in most other "user-friendly" wordprocessors.
