Inserting Page Numbers

Inserting Page Numbers

Page numbers help you keep your document in order or find a topic from the table of contents. Number the entire document consecutively or each section independently; pick a numbering scheme, such as roman numerals or letters . When you insert page numbers, you can select the position and alignment of the numbers on the page. Add page numbers and the date in a footer to conveniently keep track of your work. If you are inserting page numbers for use with double-sided printing and bound printing, you can determine whether the page numbers appear on the inside or outside of facing pages. If you're working on a book, you can include the chapter number in your page numbering (Example 11-1, 11-2, etc.).
