How to insert Page Numbers in Word from a Specific Page. This video provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on how to add page numbering from different or specific pages.
How to Start Page Numbering from a Specific Page in Word
1. Go to the Page Where You Want to Start Numbering:
Click at the beginning of the page where you want the numbering to start. For example, if you want the numbering to start on page 3, click at the top of that page.
2. Insert a Section Break:
Go to the Layout tab.
Click on *Breaks*.
Under *Section Breaks*, select *Next Page*.
Note: It might seem like nothing happened, but this step separates your document into different sections.
3. Open the Footer to See Sections:
Double-click on the footer area of the page where you want the numbering to start (e.g., page 3).
You should now see that the document is divided into different sections, labeled as "Section 1" and "Section 2".
4. Insert Page Numbers:
Click on the page where you want the numbering to begin (either in the main area of the page or in the header/footer).
Go to the Insert tab.
Click on Page Number and choose where you want the page numbers to appear (top or bottom of the page) and the style you prefer.
5. Adjust the Starting Page Number:
If the page number starts at 3 instead of 1, do the following:
In the Header & Footer tab, click on Link to Previous to deselect it.
Click on Page Number again and select *Format Page Numbers*.
Under Page Numbering*, select *Start at*, type *1 in the box, and click *OK*.
6. Remove Page Numbers from Previous Sections:
Scroll up to the earlier pages (e.g., pages 1 and 2) and check if there are any leftover page numbers.
If you see page numbers, double-click on the footer, highlight the number, and delete it.
This will remove unwanted numbering from the previous sections while keeping the numbering starting from your desired page.
By following these steps, you should be able to start your page numbering from any specific page in your document and remove numbers from the earlier pages.
