You can change your page setup options on the Page Setup dialog box.  Last week we looked at what you can do on the Margins tab of the Page Setup dialog box.  There are also few notable items on the Layout tab.

 The quickest way to access it is by double-clicking on the left hand ruler in Page Layout View of your Word document. 

On the Layout tab you can set your section breaks from the Section start dropdown list.  Make sure you select the From this Point forward option from the Apply to dropdown at the bottom of the page.

• In the Headers and footers section, specify whether you want different headers and footers on odd and even pages or just on the first page.  You can also do this via the Header and Footer toolbar which will appear when you double click in the Header or footer areas of the document.
• You can also determine exactly how far from the edge your headers and footers are.
• The Page section determines how your text is vertically aligned. So if you have a front page on your document, you can highlight the text, open the Page Layout dialog box, select Centre from the Vertical alignment drop down box and at the bottom of the page in the Apply to box, select Selected Text.  Do this rather than pressing Enter to get the text centred on the page!
• You can also add line numbers to your whole document by selecting the Line Numbers button.
• The Borders dialog box can be accessed via the Borders button.
