The page number position only gives me one option: in the middle, but I want it to the right side

I am working with a letterhead and the only option for a page number is at the top in the middle. I want to move it to the right side on the top. Do you have any suggestions for me?

It turns out that if you are using the Contemporary Letter, there is a text box containing "FROM THE DESK OF" that is overlaying the header location. Click on that text box, and drag it vertically above the header, click in the right segment of the header to insert the page number, and then move the text box back down in its original position.
