[@iamjaz0914]

How do you add the page number on the top right on the margin

[@mohammedfaris4552]

Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much, I spent the day to figure out how to remove the number from the first page.

Is this the newest version? My Insert tab looks different when I click Page Number! It shows: > # < on the header & footer tab. Have you run into that problem?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Yes, this is the latest version of Word (Microsoft 365). I just doublechecked, and I'm not seeing any problems with the Page Number button in the Insert tab. You may want to report your issue to Microsoft if the problem persists. Best of luck!

[@wafimalik7355]

This is the Diamond in the rough people. SUBSCRIBE to Erin Wright! Erin Wright for PRESIDENT! Erin you are the BEST! Your voice is calm, perfectly timed and steady. You get right to the issue. The fact that you add SUBTITLES - shows me you're on top of your game. Not only for the hearing impaired of course, but they benefit me in case I loose the pace with the audio, I can quickly scan the subtitle. I got lucky on a simple search finding you and I'm LOCKING you in! 🙂 I don't know why programmers make it so complex to add page numbers. In the past I looked at other tutorials they were bad, I got traumatized and was diagnosed with "PageNumberphobia" (okay maybe not that bad). But NO JOKE when I realized I had to go into the KZbin jungle again to search for a tutorial on adding page numbers I got the anxiety. I was able to add page numbers and remove the number from the first page (as you stated) because it was a cover page. You also were smart to include removing a number from a page. I feel so lucky, that I think I will go out and buy a Lottery ticket (and I never buy lottery tickets), but tonight I'm going to buy 200 of them! Maybe I hit another lottery like I did finding you!

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! I am happy to cure PageNumberphobia and really appreciate your kind words! 😊

Erin reminds me of a schoolteacher I used to date way back in the day. She made me keep doing it over and over until I got it right. I never did "get it right". I think she gave me a B+ once....

Thank you for this tutorial! The document I’m working on will only show a page number on the first page. But it won’t show anything after the first page. Can you please help?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your page numbers. Although I can't be sure why the page number is only appearing on the first page, you may want to turn on the Show/Hide button (which looks like a paragraph mark) in the Home tab to look for unwanted section breaks. Also, you may want to check to see if you have "Different first page" checked in the Header & Footer tab. Best of luck!

Hi Erin. How would you print the same page single multiple times using x of y numbering system

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you so much for watching! To print the same page multiple times, select File > Print and then enter the number of copies in the Copies text box and the page number in the Pages text box. If your numbering system is x of y (e.g., 1 of 3), enter the page number (e.g., 1), not the total.

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! Can you tell me which version of Word you are using? I just checked on Word for Microsoft 365 on Windows 11 and I'm not seeing that message, so I'm afraid I don't currently have any advice.

Thank you for watching! If you create a section break at the end of page 6, you can then start the numbering on page 7 by selecting the "Start at" option in the Page Number Format dialog box. You may find my tutorial on section breaks helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6mzf4imaa6EkKs. Best of luck!

Hi Erin .. Is there is an option to change size, color and font style for the page number?

Hi, Sam. Thank you for watching! To change the appearance of your page numbers, double-click the top of any page to open the Header & Footer tab. Then, select a page number. Next, select the Home tab and use the options in the Font group to update your font, font color, etc. All the page numbers should be updated to your new choices. Best of luck!

Thank you for watching my video! I'm afraid I'm a bit confused about your question. Can you provide a little detail about how the page number on the portrait page is different than the other pages in landscape?

[@Maria38315]

@@erinwrightwriting I am sorry about that. I could not explain very well. Actually, I have my dissertation and all pages except one has a landscape orientation. I need to number each Page stating from Page 2. The above Video was very helpful but my page with landscape orientation does not get the page number in footer and the next pages onwards get Page number 2,3, 4 etc. This means strat numbering again taking the landscape Page as nee section. I need help in this regard. Thanks again.
