This is getting a little frustrating (headers)

Hi,

I have to winge and gripe about something.

This morning, I got up with the glorious feeling that I was about to put my last project into a trunk to season. I was going to start on a new project. I felt good. Even the birds were singing.

And, in a burst of optimism, I decided I would learn something about basic novel manuscript formatting. I would stick this big fellah in the trunk in proper manuscript form.

That's when everything started to go bad.

I checked this guide.

And they all agree that the header should be last name/title/page number, Though Cathy C's guide says to include the date.

It seems that Word 2007 will allow you to include either a page number, or text in a header, but not both. In addition, my word 2007 doesn't appear to have a help function any more. It say "F1" but that seems to do nothing.

Is there a decent word tutorial out there?

I have been trying to get this right for four hours.

And I am becoming a little frustrated.

Thanks Scarletpeaches,

I was thinking too hard.
