508 compliance has never looked this goodThis is my brain..... in part, at least.

ok... So I feel compelled to share this, as it is frustrating me. These are the CS department formatting rules for page numbers on papers and other such assignments:

Use page numbers as required for theses, dissertations, and directed project reports.
Specifically:

  • Do not put a page number on the cover pages.
  • Number the first page of an abstract or summary page number 1. Place the page number in the center at the bottom of the page. Set the bottom margin for the text at 1.25 inches and set the bottom margin for the footer at 1.0 inch so that there will be a margin of 1.0 inch below the page number.
  • On each subsequent page of text, place the page number in the right top corner of the page, one inch from the top of the page. This can be accomplished by defining a header in which the page number is right justified, the margin for the header is 1.0 inch, and the margin for the text is 1.25 inches.
  • Place the page number in the center of the bottom of the page for the first page of the reference list. Leave a margin of 1.0 inch below the page number. If the reference list requires more than one page, place the page number for subsequent pages in the top right corner of each page with a margin of 1.0 inch above it.
I'm sorry... that's just too confusing.

Now I have to go figure out how to make MS Word (or open office, I'm not picky) actually *do* that... Or I could go to bed. Tempting...
