[QUOTE="Strutinan, post: 555920, member: 9267"] Never underestimate the usefulness of MS Paint. For page numbers, I've found its easiest to make several small graphics files, numbered 0-9, each with the same number as the only graphical information inside the image. Once you have a number in the size and font you want, we'll use "0" for reference, you use the selection tool to move it to the upper-left corner. Make sure it is only one pixel from the left and the top. The Zoom feature is very handy for this. Then you can go into the Image menue, and select Attributes. Tell it ot measure by pixels. Now re-size the image until there is only a one-pixel border on the number's right and bottom edges. Save the file as "Number 0". Now do the other nine numbers. Now using MS Word, on your document's inside cover page (which should be blank anyways) import each of the number files and arrange them in order 0-9. Resize them to suit your skull-image's mouth. Select the "1" and copy it to your clipboard. Resize the document to a 10% view. THis will put them going left to right on your monitor. Count over from the left to the first actual page of text (which should be the third one in). Click on that page. Hit "Paste". Go down that column, repeating the procccess, until you reach the end of the column. Repeat this procedure for the rest of the numbers. Now go through left-to-right for the 10's digits, then the 100s (if you have any). All thats left is going through each page and dragging the numbers to thier appropriate places. I know this seems like alot of work, but the alternative (importing each number sepperately) is a REAL pain! [/QUOTE]
