Introduction

If you need to add page numbers in your document, the Document Editor offers you a lot of the page numbering options. You can perform the following operations:

  • number pages specifying the page number position in the document header or footer,
  • insert total number of pages,
  • remove the page number from the very first page,
  • apply different page number formats for even and odd pages or for separate sections of your document.

The instructions below will help you to easily add page numbers and edit their settings.

Step 1. Add page numbers to each page

To put a page number to each page of your document:

  1. switch to the Insert tab and click theHeader or FooterHeader/Footer icon icon at the top toolbar,
  2. choose theInsert page number submenu,
  3. select the page number position on the page clicking one of the presets: Top Left, Top Center, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Center, Bottom Right.

Note: if you have an existing header or footer, it will be replaced with the page number.

Here you can also set thePosition of page numbers relative to the top or bottom of the page.

If necessary, change the appearance of the added page numbers: select a number with the mouse and use icons at the Home tab of the top toolbar to apply the necessary font type, size and color.

  2. switch to the Insert tab and click theHeader or FooterHeader/Footer icon icon at the top toolbar,
  3. select theInsert number of pages option.

To remove the page number at the first page,

  2. click the Header and Footer Settings Header and Footer Settings icon icon at the right sidebar,
  3. check theDifferent first page box,
  4. select the first page number and press Delete.
