Adding Page Numbers

Summary: One way to add page numbers to your document is to use the Insert | Page Numbers menu option. As described in this tip, this method inserts the page number in a frame within the header or footer of you document. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

If you are creating documents that are more than a page or two in length, you will probably want to include page numbers so you can keep your document in order. Word supports automatic numbering of pages in your document, and you can control the type of page number, the starting number, and the placement of the page number. In addition, you can include page numbers in the headers and footers on your pages. To add page numbers, follow these steps:

  1. Since page numbers are an attribute of sections, position the insertion point in the section of your document that you want to include page numbers.
  2. Choose the Page Numbers command from the Insert menu. You will see the Page Numbers dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  3. Using the Position drop-down list, specify where you want the page numbers to appear. For instance, you can choose Bottom of Page (Footer) to cause the page number to appear at the bottom each page.
  4. Using the Alignment drop-down list, specify how you want the page numbers to appear in relation to your page (left, right, center, inside or outside).
  5. Click on OK.

Inserting page numbers in this way adds a frame to your header or footer, and the page number is contained within the frame.

Tip #175 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
