    << Do you have the same version of operating system and Office? Did you open the same document?

    Please tell me the version of Office.

    Does this problem occur in Word?
    If yes, how did you insert the page number?
    Did you follow the steps in “Add page numbers to a header or footer in Word”?

    By the way, when you insert a page number using Word's Insert>Page Number commands, it inserts a page number field inside a frame. Then you can drag the frame to wherever you need it.

    What’s more, right-click on the frame that surrounds the page number and choose Format Frame. Make sure the Horizontal setting is Right Relative to Margin.
