MS Word: how to number pages

Is there an easy way to insert sequential numbers in the header or anywhere else of a word document?

I want to print identical sheets with mumbers from 0001 to 1000 without having to have 1000 sheets loaded in Word. Possible?

You could do a mail merge and have the 'page number' as the only field on the page. Then have a dataset with 1 to 1000. create the dataset as an excel sheet first and use the mail merge wizard to locate the file.

Why didn't I think of that?
Thanks!!

oh yeah. do a direct print to the printer, don't print to a file first.

Thanks for that... all done!!
