Struggling to start page numbering at a specific page in Word 365? This is what you need!

A few years back I wrote a guide and recorded a video that demonstrated how to start numbering a page further down the document, if you wanted a cover page for example. This is an updated version of that video using Word 365 in January 2021.

God bless you for making this easier. Word should be ashamed of themselves for making this so difficult. They should hire you!

I spent five hours trying and watching other videos before i found this video tutorial, I followed it to the letter and it worked a treat. Thanks Chris.

[@springyleaf]

God Bless You! I have watched 4 other videos and read numerous articles and yours was the only video that worked. You have made my day. Thank you so very much!

[@mikewietecha]

Thank you so much for your help. There is absolutely nothing intuitive about this process. No way I would have figured this out on my own. Cheers!

[@authenticdude9557]

Thank you, I have been struggling with this and yours is the first plain and simple explanation that succeeded. Well done!

[@jonathanosborne8983]

diddo! Thank you Chris!!! It was the "Link to the previous" button that was messing me up and driving me crazy. ahhhh!!!! Lol 😅

[@jameshitchcock2626]

GOAT'd video, very easy to follow. Many thanks Mr. Bryson!

YOU HAD NO IDEA HOW I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.

[@vittoriobollo3408]

Thank you SO MUCH for making it so easy to understand and even easier to do! I'd been through a few other vids on the same topic and, oh my word, did they make it so complicated! So, thank you again. Much appreciated! 😀😉

[@Up-To-Speed]

OMG, you are the ONLY person that did this correctly and explained it right. I followed the instructions of other Imbeciles on KZbin and wasted literally an hour trying to follow their incompetent instructions. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Thank God for competent and knowledgably people like you!

This was EXTREMELY helpful, thank you so much 🙌 You walked through everything at just the right pace, and I like that you kept saying “that’s okay” it actually helped me not get flustered like I did when trying to follow along with other tutorials. 😆 I’m saving this video to help me when I write my next books, thank you again!

[@monicarochelletaylor247]

Thanks Chris for this editorial. Do you have one for adding header as well?

[@chr15b]

Hi Monica - Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look and upload one in the next couple of days. :-)

Hi, great tutorial, just in my word 365 option Page Number is grayed out...

[@JustdoitDOitNow]

fixed, if somebody have same issue here is solution: Alt+Shift+P and now Page Number is not grayed out anymore.

Do you show how it works for pagination on mirror margins in a paperback form?

[@chr15b]

Doug - can you contact me via email (My email address is on channel) or website and I'll do my best to help? Thanks, Chris.

[@lutfiramly4168]

so many technology happening right now but not for word i think

[@corkandi]

This doesn't work for me. For some reason, the page I select as no:1 appears with no number and the next page starts at no:2. When I delete the no's from the previous pages, all the page no's disappear...Help!

[@chr15b]

Try enabling the show/hide view and checking for other breaks that may need to be removed.

[@corkandi]

@@chr15b Yes! I've done it mate...thanks a lot!

[@louwramarais5196]

I havr followed the exact steps snd it did not work.

[@chr15b]

Sorry to hear that, I can only suggest trying again.

[@bathroomchips3520]

Not working for me. Maybe I will try a fresh document.

[@chr15b]

It can be a number of things, select the show/hide button to identify other hidden breaks.

[@bathroomchips3520]

@@chr15b appreciate the feedback. Went with a new document and your tutorial worked perfectly. Now watching pivot tables. You make things really simple and understandable compared to books and others on youtube.

[@mseka9148]

Nope..this still doesn't work. Fuck MS Word.

[@ivantulumovic861]

I always get this stupid thing

[@wayniesinclair]

how do i get my TOC generate and to include 'S-', like below blah blaha ...........................................................S-1 blah blaha ...........................................................S-2 blah blaha ...........................................................S-3 and so on? Doing this for a prospectus, but can't get it to display the 'S-'
