There is no way to specify whether one wants the page numbers to be centered, right, or left!?! I am confused. What is up with that failing piece of the program???
UGH…!!!

I have been using my iPad to write my papers for school. I’d save them. When I get to school add the page number insert. Whew. Then I save a template to my iDisk so I wouldn’t have to keep making time to add the page numbers. Now I can just do it from my iPad.
Thank you.
