Rule #4: The page publish ever goes inwards the upper right margin inwards the piece of occupation past times margin (i.e., the piece of occupation past times header section). You should vertically align the publish inwards the header. Since the piece of occupation past times margin is i inch, vertically align the page publish at 0.5".

Rule #5: Include a "period" or "dot" later on the number. EX: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
