Headers and footers are located on the sides, as well as at the bottom and top of the page. They are often used for logos or other images, titles, stamps, “headings” of documents, footnotes, document titles, date placement. You can also set page numbering in headers and footers.

Click this button and in the drop-down menu click "Headers and Footers". After that, a header and footer panel will open on the working area of the program, and an area for entering text at the top of the page. From the "Headers and Footers" menu, go to the bottom of the page by clicking the "Header / Footer" button if you want to arrange the page numbering at the bottom. On the same panel there is a button "Page number". Click this button, and its serial number will appear on the page.

Here you can also select other values for the header and footer and line numbering. When opening the header and footer on the working pane of the document, an additional window opens. In the left part of the panel, find the "Page number" section, click the button and in the drop-down window specify the value you need to place the page number (at the top of the page, at the bottom, in the page margins) and the page numbering format. It can be a numeric value, alphabetic, alphanumeric, numeric - symbolic. In addition, from the menu that appears when opening headers and footers, you can specify other values for the header by selecting and ticking one of the settings items: a special header for the first page or different headers and footers for even and odd pages.
Step 10
You can also open the panel with headers and footers by opening the "Design" menu. Further actions are carried out in accordance with the above steps.

In Microsoft Office Word 2010, the page numbering in the document is set as follows. In the top panel, select "Insert" and in the "Headers and Footers" subsection, find the "Page Number" icon. Click on it and select the position of the numbering (top, bottom, in the fields, the current position), after which the program will offer you a whole list of examples of numbering design. Select the one you like and left click on it. All pages of the document will be numbered in the header and footer.

Find the item "Page number", move the mouse to this inscription, click the button and in the drop-down window select the numbering format. That is, you need to indicate how the numbers will be located on the pages of the document: at the top of the page, at the bottom of the page, in the page margins, the current position. Select the number formatting and numbering format (numeric, alphabetic, etc.).
Step 13
The numbering in Microsoft Office Word is much richer than in other versions of the program. So, if you open the full "Insert" menu and click the "Page number" button, you will see typical variations in the placement of signatures on sheets. Click again on the lines with the arrows and select a template that will help you put down page numbers automatically. When you click on a number, a small panel opens, in which you can change the font and color of the number.
