How You can Change the font and size of page numbers

How To Change the font and size of page numbers

1. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
2. If you positioned the page numbers at the bottom of the page, click Switch Between Header and Footer on the Header and Footer toolbar.
3. Select a page number.

If you inserted page numbers by using the Page Numbers command on the Insert menu, make sure to select the page number inside its frame. (frame: A container that you can resize and position anywhere on the page. To position text or graphics that contain comments, footnotes, endnotes, or certain fields, you must use a frame instead of a text box.)

1. Click the page number.

A cross-hatched frame border appears around the page number.

2. Select the page number inside the cross-hatched frame border.

4.    On the Formatting toolbar, click a font name in the Font box or a point size in the Font Size box.

 

Position page numbers outside the header or footer

Make sure you've inserted page numbers by using the Page Numbers command on the Insert menu. Microsoft Word inserts page numbers in frames, which you can position anywhere on the page.

1. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
2. If you positioned the page numbers at the bottom of the page, click Switch Between Header and Footer on the Header and Footer toolbar.
3. Select the frame around the page number.

1.    Click the page number to make its frame appear.

2.    Move the pointer over the frame's border until the pointer becomes a four-headed arrow, and then click to see the frame's sizing handles.

4.    Drag the frame and page number to a new location.

Notes

• If you move the page numbers outside the header or footer area, the page numbers are still part of the header or footer. If you want to edit or format the page numbers, you need to click Header and Footer on the View menu.
• If you inserted page numbers by clicking Insert Page Number on the Header and Footer toolbar, Word inserts the page numbers as part of the text in the header or footer. Page numbers aren't enclosed in frames, and you can't drag them to a new location.

Remove page numbers

1. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
2. If you positioned the page numbers at the bottom of the page, click Switch Between Header and Footer on the Header and Footer toolbar.
3. Select a page number.

If you inserted page numbers by using the Page Numbers command on the Insert menu, make sure to select the frame around the page number.

1.    Click the page number to make its frame appear.

2.    Move the pointer over the frame's border until the pointer becomes a four-headed arrow, and then click to see the frame's sizing handles.

If the handles are not visible, you might have clicked the contents of the frame, not the frame itself.

4. Press DELETE.

Notes

• Microsoft Word automatically removes the page numbers throughout the document. To remove page numbers for part of a document, divide the document into sections and break the connection between them.
• If you created different first-page or odd and even headers or footers, make sure to remove the page numbers from each different header or footer.

Insert the chapter number and title in a header or footer

A document must first be divided into sections in order to insert chapter numbers and titles into headers and footers.

1. If you haven't done so already, insert a section break where you want to start a new section that contains a different chapter.
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. Apply a built-in heading style to the chapter number and chapter title by clicking a heading style in the Style box on the Formatting toolbar.

Or to have Microsoft Word automatically number headings, use the Bullets and Numbering dialog box to format chapter headings.

1.    On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering, and then click the Outline Numbered tab.

2.    Click a chapter-numbering style (one that includes the text "Heading 1" or "Heading 2," and so on), and then click OK.

3.    Type the text you want for the numbered heading, and then press ENTER.

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.

3. In the first chapter, on the View menu, click Header and Footer.
4. If necessary, move the insertion point to the header or footer you want to change.
5. Insert the chapter number or title.
1. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Cross-reference.
2. In the Reference type box, click Heading.
3. In the For which heading box, click the heading that contains the chapter number and title.
4. In the Insert reference to box, select what you want to insert in the header or footer. For example,
• Click Heading number to insert the chapter number.
• Click Heading text to insert the chapter heading.
5. Click Insert, and then click Close.
6. Click Show Next to move to the header or footer of the next chapter.
7. If the header or footer in this chapter matches the one you just created, click Link to Previous on the Header and Footer toolbar to break the connection between the header or footer in the current chapter and the previous chapter.
8. If there's already text in the header or footer that you don't want, delete the text before inserting the chapter number and title.
9. Repeat step 5 to insert the chapter number or title of the current chapter.
10. For each chapter in the document, repeat steps 5 through .
