I was struggling to solve this for few hours. I can't believe you solved it. Thank you so much. Google should understand that it's not easy to use this feature.

[@bitortwo9735]

I was in the same boat and I found it on some obscure forum somewhere so I decided to just make a video about it. Glad it helped Gülhan!

Неймовірно!! Не знаю, як , але і в мене вийшло! Я навіть не зрозуміла як це сталось. Бо в мене завжди в першому розділі залишалась нумерація. Але зробивши все покроково - в мене вийшло!! ДЯКУЮ))))

Do you know how to set page numbers like number 5 is on the right side of footer and number 6 is on the left side etc etc?

[@Tm-ru5dw]

plz don't tell me that i need to make all diffrent sections for every page (40) ;

[@bitortwo9735]

You can do this by going to Headers and Footers and selecting "Different odd and even". You then need to align the odd one to the right (or left) and the even one to the opposite side. You might need to add a page number again on the secondary page by clicking into the numberless page and add Page Number again, then into the header and align as you want. You can check it out here: docs.google.com/document/d/1R0w0I0WcD1J4w1X0Rvh1mTqvU-sC4MZvsvt9lqrSKao/edit

THANK YOU SO MUCHHH❤

[@artisticshe]

Once you get page number 1 on the first page you want, how do you make the number switch sides every other page like in a book? I want my numbers to always be on the outer page? I managed to get it to show odd numbers, but the other side is blank?

thank you

[@KMLC1315]

It's only at the left side. How do you place it at the right side?

[@bitortwo9735]

I think you should be able to click into the header or footer (wherever you have your numbering) and use the text align button like you would with regular text paragraphs
