Adding page numbers to your doc.

Add page numbers

Microsoft Word provides two ways to add page numbers. In either case, the page numbers appear in the header or footer at the top or bottom of the page.

Add basic page numbers to headers or footers

1. On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers.
2. In the Position box, specify whether to print page numbers in the header at the top of the page or in the footer at the bottom of the page.
3. In the Alignment box, specify whether to align page numbers left, center, or right relative to the left and right margins, or inside or outside relative to the inside and outside edges of pages that will be bound.
4. If you don't want a number on the first page, clear the Show number on first page check box.
5. Select any other options you want.

Add page numbers and other information, such as the date or time

1. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
2. If you want to position the page numbers at the bottom of the page, click Switch Between Header and Footer on the Header and Footer toolbar.
3. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Insert Page Number
4. Select any other options you want.

Note The page number is automatically inserted on the left margin of the header or footer. To move the page number to the center or the right, click in front of the page number in Header and Footer view and press the TAB key.

 

Restart page numbering for each chapter

If your document contains multiple chapters, you may want to restart page numbering for each chapter. You can even include the chapter number as part of the page number— for example, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and 2-1, 2-2, 2-3.

Restart page numbering with 1 for each chapter or section

1. If you haven't already done so, insert a section break where you want to restart page numbering.
1. Click where you want to insert a section break.
2. On the Insert menu, click Break.
3. Under Section break types, click the option that describes where you want the new section to begin.

Note  If you have already inserted a page break to cause the chapter to start on a new page, delete the page break and replace it with a section break that starts on a new page.

2. Click in a section or select multiple sections in which you want to restart page numbering.
3. On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers.

4. To add the next numbered heading, go to the next chapter heading, click the arrow next to the Style box on the Formatting toolbar, and then select the heading style you specified in step 2.
