To choose a format or to control the starting number, go to Header & Footer > Page Number > Format Page Numbers. To change the numbering style, select a different style in Number format. To change the starting page number of the newly created section, select Start at, and then enter a number. Select OK.

Using the Control Buttons When you open Word there are actually two separate windows. Both of these windows have what are called control menus. The icon in the top left corner is known as the control menu and the three buttons in the top right hand corner provide shortcuts for commands on this menu.

Answer

1. Click on the Insert tab.
2. Click on Page Number in the Header & Footer group.
3. Choose the location of page number (usually top of page). Plain Number 3 is most used option when adding name/page number to header. Click on your choice.

Click Margins, click Custom Margins, and then in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right boxes, enter new values for the margins.

1. To change the default margins, click Margins after you select a new margin, and then click Custom Margins.
2. To restore the original margin settings, click Margins and then click Custom Margins.

To fix this, click in the header or footer of each of the “page 0” pages, go to Header & Footer > Page Number > Format Page Numbers, and click the option button for “Continue from previous section”. It’s also possible that you don’t need section breaks in this document at all.

Scroll down and click on Index and Tables. Select the Table of Contents tab in the dialog box that opens. Uncheck “Show Page Numbers“. This will remove your page number.

Use the Navigation Pane

1. Click the “View” tab in the Show group and then click the “Navigation Pane” check box.
2. Click the “Browse the Headings” tab in the Navigation pane.
3. Click the heading of the section you want to move and drag it to a new location in the pane.

2 Go to the “Insert” tab and select either “Header” or “Footer” from the “Header and Footer” section, depending on where you want to insert page numbers. Click “Edit Header” or “Edit Footer” from the drop-down menu. The header or footer will be visible and the cursor will be active in it.

Use the Page field code to insert page numbers

1. Double-click the header or the footer area (near the top or bottom of the page).
2. Go to Header & Footer > Field.
3. In the Field names list, Select Page, and then select OK.
4. To change the numbering format, go to Header & Footer > Page Number > Format Page Numbers.

1. Open the Header & Footer Tools by double-clicking inside the header or footer area.
2. Select Design > Page Number > Format Page Numbers.
3. Set Start at to 0 and select OK.
4. Select Different First Page.
5. Select Close Header and Footer.

To add page numbers to your Word document, switch over to the “Insert” tab on the Ribbon and then click the “Page Number” button in the “Header & Footer” section. A drop-down menu shows several different options for where you’d like the page numbers to appear—top of the page, bottom of the page, and so on.

When an even-page section break is inserted, Word will skip to the next even-numbered page if necessary to start on an even-number. On screen it just looks like a page number was skipped. When the document is printed (or in a pdf) a blank page with no header or footer will be inserted but count in the page numbering.

Unfortunately, there is no intrinsic way to delete section breaks and maintain the formatting represented by that break. There is a workaround you can use, however: Place the insertion point at the end of the document, just after the final section break.

On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click Show/Hide to show all formatting marks including page breaks. Double-click the page break to select it, then press Delete. Click Show/Hide again to hide the remaining formatting marks in the document.

1. Click Home > Show/Hide . This will display non-printing characters—paragraph markers, section breaks, page breaks, etc. —that you may want to see while you’re working on your document.
2. Double-click the page break so that it’s selected, and then press Delete.

See the following steps:

1. Click Home > (Show/Hide Editing Marks) to show all paragraph marks and hidden formatting symbols in current document.
2. Place the cursor before the specified section break, and then press the Delete key to remove it. See screenshot:
3. For removing more section breaks, please repeat above Step 2.
