How to Add Page Numbers from a Specific Page in Word?
In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of adding page numbers starting from any page in your Microsoft Word document. Whether you're creating a report, a thesis, or any professional document, mastering this feature will enhance your document's clarity and professionalism.
Steps to Add Page Numbers from a Specific Page in Word:
Step 1: Select the Starting Page
Identify the page from where you want the page numbering to start in your Microsoft Word document.
Step 2: Insert a Section Break
Place your cursor at the beginning of your chosen starting page.
Go to the ‘Layout’ tab, and click on ‘Breaks’.
Under ‘Section Breaks’, select ‘Next Page’. This creates a new section starting from where you placed the cursor.
Step 3: Add Page Numbers
Navigate to the ‘Insert’ tab.
Click on ‘Page Number’ in the Header & Footer section.
Choose your desired position for the page numbers, such as ‘Bottom of Page’.
Step 4: Disable Link to Previous
Double-click the footer area of your starting page to activate the Header & Footer Tools.
Click on ‘Link to Previous’ in the Design tab to deactivate it. This prevents the numbering from continuing from the previous section.
Step 5: Format Page Numbers
Still in the Header & Footer Tools, click ‘Page Number’.
Select ‘Format Page Numbers…’ from the dropdown menu.
Step 6: Set Starting Number
In the dialog box that appears, under 'Page numbering', choose ‘Start at’ and enter ‘1’.
Click ‘OK’ to apply these settings.
Step 7: Remove Unwanted Numbers
Navigate to any pages prior to your starting page and delete any page numbers if they are present.
