In my Word document, I have created a custom footer - it's center justified.

I want to add a page number ("Page 1 of 13") in the lower right-hand corner, in the right margin. I want my footer text to remain centered.

I cannot figure out how to do this - I've been searching and trying for nearly two hours. Assistance is most appreciated!
 
Do you mean "Insert Alignment Tab?" I highlight the text, clicked Insert Alignment Tab, chose "Center" and my text disappeared.
 
No.

Turn on the ruler bar at the top if it's not already on. Add a center tab stop at the center of the page, and a right tab stop at the right margin.
 
Just to clarify: when you look at the ruler

└ is a left tab
┴ is a centered tab
┘ is a right tab
