Does anyone know if I can insert the page numbers by not using the head or foot area (sorry, don't know the English word for this) but for instance in the text? Thanks in advance.

I don't know of a way to do it, but here's some starting places to answer your question.

On Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac OS X:

Insert > Field > Numbering > Page

Maybe someone else can suggest how to do this on a Windoze machine (I use a Wintel machine at work, but it's the weekend for me).

In Word 2003 for Windows the default options are to insert the page numbers into either the header or the footer. I'm not sure why using the header and/or footer is a problem for you, secluded Observer, but I think you'll have to go the manual route if you don't want to do it the M$ way.

yes.

1) Click where you want the page number
2) Click on the Insert Menu
3) Click Field
4) Select Numbering under Categories
5) Select Page under Field Names (click options if you want to change the formate of the page numbers, alphabetical, roman, etc)
6) click OK
7) copy and paste the inserted field to wherever you want throughout the document (if the page number is showing the same number on multiple pages do a print preview to force word to recalculate the page numbers.)

It works the same way in Windows (at least in Word 2000).

Sorry, during the last days there was little time...
Thank you very much for all your input. CV, the way you describe it (and Hurrab confirms) is the way it also works for me.
I want to hang a longer document (of several pages) on a wall. The textflow should not be interupted by a header or a footer. Still the readers should be able to refer to a particular page.
