Most of the things we create Word Documents, can, and, in most cases, consist of several pages and even several dozen pages. Such documents include abstracts, reports, projects, term papers, contracts, business plans, some reports, and other documents. According to generally accepted design standards, the pages of such documents must be numbered.

Some documents should be numbered from the first page to the last, while others, for example, are numbered starting from the second or third page, or from some other.

Today we will talk about the simplest and most commonly used pagination, which we can apply to most of the documents we create. In the examples, I use my working sketches from one of the Power Point articles.

The necessary options with which we number the pages of the document and format (edit), in general, change the numbering itself directly, are located in the "Insert" and "Page Layout" tabs of the top menu:

I would call the numbering options in the "Insert" tab the starting ones, since with the help of them we start the page numbering. Let's open the "Insert" tab and direct all our attention to its "Headers and Footers" section, with the "Page Number" functionality located in it:

Let's press this main button "Page number" in order to see a list of options:

The first three options (counting from top to bottom) contain numbering patterns, that is, options for the arrangement of numbers on the page. The option called "Current position" (4th in a row) also contains numbering templates, but working with these templates is somewhat different from working with the numbering of the first three options. Numbering with the third option is the same peculiar and also different from pagination with the first two options.

But the first two options "At the top of the page" and "Bottom of the page" we, perhaps, can number the pages most often. Let's talk about them first and talk today.

Since the pagination using these options is almost identical and the difference is only in the location on the page (at the top and bottom of the page) and the forms of the numbering itself, in the examples we use the “Top of the page” option.

Let's click to select it:

and a list of numbering format templates will open before our eyes:

Those patterns that our eyes will see are only a part of all numbering patterns. In order to see other templates and make a choice at our discretion, we need to move the slider on the right side of the window, or click the up / down arrow buttons:

When choosing a template, we must also consider the nature of the document we are working on. The "playful" numbering format is not suitable for business documents.

As soon as we select one of the templates with a mouse click, all pages of the document will be automatically numbered (I specifically chose a template with a clearly visible numbering):

Since the main button "Page number" is located in the "Headers and footers" section, the page numbering occurs in the mode of working with headers and footers with the simultaneous activation of the new tab "Designer":

Therefore, we see all these dotted lines and inscriptions. After the pages are numbered, you need to exit the mode of working with headers and footers. To do this, press the button to close the window for working with headers and footers:

After pressing this button, all dotted lines disappear, but the pagination we need remains:

We can apply numbering as soon as we start creating a document, as well as “in the midst of work” or when editing the text is completely finished and pagination is the final step in working on a document.

Once applied to the pages of a document, the numbering is retained. If we applied the numbering at the very beginning, that is, at the moment when we just started working on the document, then we do not need to worry about the numbering of the following pages. In this case, each new (next) page will be numbered automatically:

In the case when we work in a team on a project, we can only work with a certain part of the document. For example, we got the final part. The rest of the team members each numbered their own part of the document, and the page numbering of our part of the document should begin with the number 65.

In order for the page numbering to start with the number 65, we need to use the "Page Numbering Format" option by selecting it in the already familiar list of page numbering options:

Let's make the choice of this option with a simple mouse click, and a window for setting its parameters will open in front of us. In this window, we can change the format of the numbering itself:

and also set the initial page number, from which the page numbering should begin:

In our example, the numbering should begin with the number 65. We need to write this number (select it with the arrow buttons) in the “Start with ...” input line. Let's do this - write it:

Well, the final action will be pressing the "OK" button.

And what do we see? We see the whole picture. The pages of our document, as they were without numbering, remained just as clean.

But the fact is that we have completed only one part of the settings. Now we need to perform another part of the settings, that is, select the desired template in the list of numbering templates. In other words - determine the location of the numbering on the pages.

Let's select the "At the top of the page" option (it serves as an example for us) and a list of numbering templates will open before our eyes, in which the number 65 appeared:

With a mouse click, select the desired template and the pages will be numbered:

And finally, close the window for working with headers and footers:

and all dashed lines will disappear:

We can first select a numbering template - let the pages be numbered, and only then in the "Page Number Format" box enter the desired number of the first page (we had number 65). The initial numbering will automatically change, and the first page will already begin with the number 65 (the number from the example).

We already know how to number the pages. And if we need to change the numbering format or it turns out that it is not needed in some document, then we will use the “Delete page numbers” option. We saw this option in the pagination options box.
