MLA Format Question

I've almost completed work on my template for MLA format in Pages 09.

I've done the auto-insert page number into the right-hand corner of each page.

However, I'm having trouble because I don't know how to insert my last name to the left of the auto-inserted page number in the top right corner of every page.

So, instead of

1 in the right hand corner

It would be

Last name 1 in the right hand corner

And so on and so on with every page thereafter.

Use the header or footer, anything you put in there will repeat on each page. You will find the header or footer is a fixed text box at the top and bottom of your page. If you move the mouse over them you will see their outline and can click inside them.

Or go:

+Menu > View > Show Layout+ to see all the boxes on the page.

To do what you want: click in the header, type +*Last Name*+ followed by a space, then:

+Menu > Insert > Page Number+

Each page will now have "+*Last Name*+ 1" etc. The number will be whatever the page number is. The rest stays the same.

see *Using Headers and Footers* p51 of the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.
