How do you insert Page Numbers on Microsoft Word?

Question

I'd like to have the page numbers start from a selected page of my document, not from the beginning. How do I do this? The traditonal way of inserting page numbers starts to count the pages from the original first page, whereas I don't want that to happen till at least page five of my document.

Answer 1

You need to create a section break in your document to re-start numbering. Use the help section (I use it all the time) and type in section break and follow the directions. Good Luck.

Answer 2

View / Header & Footer / click the little paper icon that has a # sign on it. This will insert the page number. If you want to insert it like 1 of 4 instead of just a particular page number, click the same icon then type a space and the word 'of' and click the next icon - the paper with two + signs on it. Good luck on your paper!

Answer 3

save 5 pages as a document
for the remainder part insert page numbers
goto top
then insert file having 5 pages.

Answer 4

It can't be done automatically as the automatic feature starts pagination from the first printed page. You can only put them in manually -- it is a messy job with a long document.

Answer 5

Click on "view" on the tool bar, and "header and footer". One the page you want to start numbering use the following:
Page { PAGE }
Page { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES }

Answer 6

check that page ?
