Thanks!

[@lucutes2936]

you're a God

[@ResoluteRonin]

The complication of this angers me to no end!

[@actorenEU]

I wonder now for 25 years why Microsoft never improved it.

[@Graywolf335]

Agreed. This is so dumb to need this much to do, to just start the numbering at page 3

[@FogelbergJon]

They excel at mass confusion in everything they do!

[@renoir.kobashi]

yep this is why microsoft sux

[@DJBarton-j4z]

Earth's wealthiest corporation is too damn incompetent to provide software manuals.

[@GhostMonkey772]

you cant even easily re arrange pages either.. theres no click and drag option for re arranging pages you have to create a heading for each page first.

[@oliviahardie3468]

You are literally the best human being there is. 3 years into my degree and you are the first person to explain this properly and actually help. Amen

[@scrub9979]

Im in Uni as well, and ive always struggled placing page numbers. This guy is the goat

[@jbl7092]

I agree. Why Microsoft makes this so difficult is beyond me and everyone else. It's a ridiculous system that needs to be fixed.

[@burkejones8277]

The hardest part of my graduate thesis was page numbering. The hardest part of the book I am currently writing is also page numbering.

[@kayp8385]

[@MZDarlington]

Thank you SO MUCH for clearly explaining (and showing) how to add section breaks and pages anywhere in a document. I had been struggling for HOURS until I found your site... so THANK YOU again!!

[@scottwilson694]

2024 and Microsoft still refuse to improve Word and make it user friendly. Stuff like this just doesn't need to be complicated and if Microsoft didn't have a monopoly, I'm sure we'd have better options to choose from.

[@biochemwithdelight7930]

Yes sir. I watch video over and over Everytime I want to do page numbering. I'm fedup

[@michaelbujaki2462]

I used to be able to do anything I wanted in LibreOffice and OpenOffice. My school forces us to use Microsoft. It makes sense because Microsoft is the industry standard. How Microsoft became the industry standard is beyond me.

[@dehavillandcanadatwinotter9621]

For real. Why are page numbers and doing stuff like adding footnotes the hardest parts of writing essays somehow? They should only take a couple seconds yet Microsoft makes us waste basically an hour on this formatting thanks to their user unfriendly platform.

[@AnomalyBelleza]

I literally needed this today badly and you SAVED the day! Instructional videos like this are gold.

[@ankitpanigrahi9645]

You are a life saver, I have been stuck on my f***in document and it felt like eternity to just make a page start from a desired page number. Word really sucks man, but there you are gave me the solution by just watching 4 minutes of your video. Really Really grateful man. May God Bless you and grant all your wishes.

[@jtmssy]

Thank you one million times. This is so much more complicated than it should be, and your tutorial has helped me out on numerous research papers!

[@vanekin4007]

Hi, you saved my sanity today. Your explanation covered literally every occuring problem and I was FINALLY able to solve this annoying problem. Thank you so much!

[@davenichollsmusiclife]

I have been using Word since it was an egg and thought that you couldn't teach me about page numbers, as I knew all about it. I persevered with your video and, of course, you explained Section Breaks, which in the 34 years I've been working with PCs, I didn't know anything about. I will never doubt your superior knowledge again! Thank you for that. My only concern with this is that I may have to spend my life watching your entire collection of videos, as you explain things so well that I learn mahooosive amounts. Did I say my only concern, previously? My other concern is that my head will explode with all of this new information! Thanks again!

[@shesha3995]

Thank you so much! I just finished my dissertation for my doctoral program and your video helped me to number the pages the way I wanted it. God bless you!

[@catherineevans698]

Huge thanks! My hair was almost all torn out when I found your video. Thank you for simplifying something so needlessly complicated!

[@jacquelineneuman7959]

Thanks Kevin. We are trying to get a book of poetry published on KDP and this video helped immensely to get the page numbers started with the first poem instead of the title page and table of contents. I would have never got this done without this video. Clear and oh so helpful.

[@fadlisani2080]

Thanks for u turtorials, so helping... I already use word about 10 years but i still preplexed to make a proper page 😅

[@p.2272]

You made this very COMPLICATED (for a 70-year-old) procedure into something that I FINALLY understand. Thanks so much.

[@endymionas]

Microsoft you desperately need a new UI DESIGNER. just please hire this guy.

[@maleeshapriyanjana7604]

Crystal clear. Very simple and easy to understand

[@dstalent4105]

This has been the biggest problem formatting my novel. You warned us that this was a bit complicated. IT IS! But I will watch your video multiple times and take notes. Thanks.

[@kimtaeshi6438]

Thank you so much. i was struggling to submit my report for two-three hours just because of this page number issue. I am really grateful. Thank you 🙇‍♀️

[@downtoearth5279]

Thank you SO MUCH! I needed this info for writing a book for a charity. Thank you for being so clear and detailed and kind in doing this at all.

[@FI599]

This video have help me to assignment properly because before this, I don't know anything about how to customize the header and footer. Thank you so much, Kevin.

[@davidberry5514]

Finally, a video that explains each step clearly in English enunciated properly!

[@gracedillon4381]

i never leave comments but bless you for this video, you've saved me hours of stress on a dissertation that is 60+ pages

[@faridoonts]

You're literally the Microsoft Office/365 god now!!! Great job!

[@dirk2655]

Thanks! I think I've done this on the same documents an infinite amount of time. Which leads me to believe something might be corrupted. I've got my pages back again. Thanks, Kevin!

[@SponserR]

This one really helped me. Its magical. Just watch the whole video and perform it simultaneously to utilize it. A clear step by step description thank you ❤

[@shiningbluesapphire]

You are simply a lifesaver. It's very rare to come across such a well detailed simple explanatory video. Thank you very much.

[@davidcoop8877]

This is 11 July 2024 I’m an hour past deadline trying to figure out numbering and the I saw you a life saver

[@annpangburn630]

I know this will sound mushy but truly your video helped so much you brought out the sun again in a very gloomy process. Thank you.

[@starfieldofviolet]

I'm donating to you for making such a brilliant, helpful video! I appreciate your hard work on this so much! You've helped so many.

[@PT-kn5zj]

Thank you for saving my life. I was on the verge of tears

[@nomthandazotwala7620]

You are awesome, busy finalizing my PhD proposal 😊

[@lindsayshimizu346]

i have to watch this video every time i write an essay because it's not enough of a habit for me to remember on my own. cheers.

[@cking613]

This is so helpful. It used to be much easier . . . . and everywhere I looked I could not figure out how to do it in Windows 11, until you explained it. Thank you so much!

[@GregoryONeill-x5o]

This is the BEST place for MS tutorials!

[@HarinejanPanchalingam]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH MY BROTHER BY CHRIST, THANK YOU, IVE BEEN BREAKING MY HEAD OVER THIS FOR 2 HOURS NOW!!!

[@Andy-g8b]

This has been the BEST explanation I've seen! Not just simply how to get the job done, but why how things are linked together!

[@justinoldham121]

UPDATE: If anyone is interested, I found a solution: I double-clicked on my page 3 footer (where the "Page 1 of 3" is), and then double-clicked on the "3" which highlights it. Then, I right-clicked on the highlighted "3" and clicked "Edit Field", and changed the Field from "NumPages" to "SectionPages", and then clicked OK. Now my page 3 shows "Page 1 of 1". ORIGINAL COMMENT: I opened a new Word doc and followed along. Great tutorial! I have a cover page and a table of contents page. My book starts on Page 3. I want my pages to show "Page _ of _", but Word is counting my cover page and TOC page. I only have 3 pages on my new document. How can I get Page 3 (the beginning of my book) to read "Page 1 of 1", and not "Page 1 of 3"? Reading the past comments, Keven doesn't reply to comments... but, I thought I'd take my chances. If anyone has the answer, please reply, because this problem is kicking my a$$.

[@chy-chy2703]

This man saved my friends degree 🙏

[@crweaponx]

Thank you so much for your help on this matter. I have spent 2 hours trying to figure this out. I did not think something this simple of a request in my paper would be so trying. I thought by trial and error I would be able to get my 3rd page to say page 1, but apparently, it is not so easy. Thank you for making my life a bit easier for my college paper.

[@ruthdobinda6584]

I had struggled with this 2 years ago in college and now I struggle again for my second college final work. But now i have this wonderful video! Thank uu!!

[@doodad734]

Thank you! It has been a long time since I've had to start page numbers mid-document and I absolutely couldn't get it to work. After watching your video I can see why I couldn't figure it out on my own. I appreciate you making and posting such a clear, easy to follow video. It really helps.

[@RC-414]

Thank you! You made this so simple! Got it on the first try, after losing brain cells watching other videos and got frustrated.

[@176cherry]

Best tutorial for numbering pages using different sections. Many suggestions online don’t explain this well. This video is well done and explains it step by step. Saved me lots of time.

[@camilalopez2893]

You absolutely rock! I had tried so many things to fix this issue and NOBODY was able to help me! Thank you

[@KBrown-n1d]

I have been looking for this exact solution for ages, the troubleshooting through all of the failure points is appreciated, as I hit every one of them. Thanks a ton!

[@Amelijap]

Thank you just thank you. Words are not enough to show gratitude for this. It made everything easier your voice is clear and helpful and eliminated confusion

[@One_RenderPH]

I've been struggling with page numbers for my thesis book, this one is a life saver! Easy to understand and on point, thank you!

[@andreanicole2006]

OH my goodness thank you. I've been searching for this answer and you made it easy to follow! Formatting in Word can be SO ridiiculous!

[@peterjpcritchley173]

Clear and concise. I ended up here after several failed attempts following instructions given elsewhere. This video worked like a dream first time. Excellent!

[@DJBarton-j4z]

"Failed attempts following instructions given elsewhere" because Earth's wealthiest corporation is too damn incompetent to provide software manuals.

[@vikesfan0528]

Thank you so much! This was a very clear explanation! I literally spent hours trying to untangle this, checking other sources to fix the problem, and your step by step approach was just magnificent!

[@FoodProjectAI]

I appreciate you for this. I had this document in my hands for over a week trying to work out this puzzle of page numbering starting right at document 3 but it has been hectic. now i have it done and dusted. thank you man

[@ArcticKoalaCurry]

Things like this are the reason I often hate Word and hate that it's still the best program for writing, etc. But some things are just so outdated. Thanks for the video

[@jennifernapoles3026]

Thank you, from a current PhD student :)

[@myriambesson1167]

Hi Kevin. I knew all the features you explained but I still like your very clear explanation, as usual 😉. At the end perhaps you could have mentioned that a right click on the table of contents on Refresh would allow to update the page numbers in the ToC.

[@dzomlija]

The ToC updates automatically when you print the document or export it to PDF.

[@aiezzatulzahari892]

Thank you for the help. I watch multiple videos from youtube and tik tok and you're the first one that can enlighten me regarding this!!! Thank you a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May god bless youuu!!!

[@michelebliss5431]

Your help has enabled me to hand in my dissertation on time and without page errors!!! Thank you!

[@lowkienhorng9153]

Thanks Kevin, these 6-7 minutes helped me a lot, kudos to the clarity and directness of the information you provided👍

[@felreizmeshinca7459]

First of all, Microsoft Office sucks. They've never improved it to become more intuitive out of all these years. Secondly, you're a life saver! I sent a document for a freelancer to do it and they've failed. If only they put effort to watch your short video.

[@ChangedUpNowWhat]

Dude YOU ARE THE MAN! You deserve monetization times 10. May the good Lord bless you Kev! Thanks.

[@davidwimble9907]

The information in this video bounced off my head the first time through. I felt totally dejected. I watched a second time and everything started clicking. Thank you so much!

[@davidwimble9907]

Still having problems with later chapters.

[@AnneWhyte-c7t]

Thank you so much. I have been struggling with putting page numbers in my document for ages. Now thanks to your video. It is done.

[@PinaColada65]

You are a godsend for making this helpful video.❤️❤️ i have looked for a proper solution for this since YEARS! And only now i have found it through ur video. Thanks!

[@knightreed7149]

Thank you so much! Microsoft’s directions were terrible and this was so easy to follow!

[@DawnietotheMax]

Thank you so much, Kevin. I wanted to add a page number in the middle and a date on the right side. And with your help, I figured it out. Thank you so much.

[@world_notexisted]

Thank you! For 5 years, I never figured out how to do it, I knew to start on second page. it takes these many steps to do this one simple thing start page numbering at page 3/4. Dumb Microsoft

[@OooSheeBop]

A MILLION THANK YOUS. I was honestly going insane thank you so much for this

[@cerrbverrx7617]

But thank you for helping us. Literally can't believe it's that complicated! I doubt I'd ever figure that out for myself.

[@sentient1640]

Thanks Kevin I learned something new today.

[@cheekymonkeygirl3378]

His videos are amazing, but I just couldn't understand the complexity so instead I tried my own method and it worked. Click Insert tab, click Page Number, click Top of the Page, Plain Number 3 format, then highlight 1️⃣, then click Current Position, Plain Number 1. 😁

[@philipryan9495]

Happy! Happy! Happy! Thought I had saved this link a few weeks ago, found out a few minutes ago I did not. But found it again!🙂

[@MevaRaj]

Thank you so much, Kevin! I never used section breaks before, but now I will.

[@christinehawkins7884]
