In a report, term paper, thesis or other text document, it is often necessary to put page numbers. If you often use the MS Word text editor, you probably know how to do it. But it is not easy for a beginner to deal with his many tricks. Learn how to make pagination in Word and apply new knowledge to design your documents.
Instructions
Step 1
Having finished writing the work (or starting it), arrange the pages in accordance with your wishes or the requirements of the customer. Adjust margins, paragraphs, change the font, and other options. To make pagination in the Word editor document, find the "Insert" tab in the top panel of the editor. There you will see several sections, among which select "Headers and Footers". Headers and footers are areas in a document that are used to add repeating information to the bottom, top, or side margins of a document. One of them is just page numbers. Headers and footers are needed in order to automate the process of arranging pages, making notes and more.
Step 2
In the column for working with headers and footers in the drop-down list in the "Page number" field, select the desired format for placing page numbering. Navigating through the sections, right-click on the appropriate selection. The numbers will appear on every sheet of your document. As a rule, they are placed in the middle of the bottom of the page or in the upper right corner.
Step 3
If you need to make the page numbering in the Word not from the first sheet (in scientific papers, as a rule, you need to put the number on the second or third page), then in the "Page number" section, open the "Page number format" tab. There you can choose from which sheet the Word will start numbering. You can also change the type of the room there. For example, number the sheets with letters or Roman numerals.
Step 4
If you do not need to put a number on the title page, you can easily remove it, keeping the rest of the numbering. To do this, go to the "Page Layout" in the main panel of Word, click on the arrow next to the page settings. In the dialog box that opens, click on the "Paper Source" tab. There you will see the line "Distinguish Headers and Footers". Check the box next to the "first page" option and save your changes. It's so easy to make pagination in Word.
