When typing voluminous text spread over several pages, it is difficult to do without numbering sheets. In this case, you need to use the "Insert" menu, which will help you "configure" the document correctly.
Necessary
a text document in Microsoft Word format
Instructions
Step 1
Adding page numbering is not difficult at all. To do this, you must first open the document that needs editing. Then on the top working panel - the toolbar - find the "Insert" menu.
Step 2
Click on this button and select the "Page Numbers" option. In the next window that opens, you will be prompted to customize the document view. To do this, you will need to mark the position of the numbering: at the bottom of the page or at the top.
Step 3
In the "Alignment" column, select the method of document alignment from the offered options: to the right, to the left, from the center, inside, outside.
Step 4
In addition, Microsoft Word has a great opportunity to specify the most suitable numbering format for each document. All available options can be viewed in the drop-down window in the "Number format" column of the "Format" section.
Step 5
Here you can configure other equally important parameters for your document, such as the inclusion of a chapter number and a separator.
Step 6
If the first page is the title page and does not need numbering, you can remove the number indicating the number from it. In this case, the second sheet will contain the number "2" and then - in order.
Step 7
To delete the number on the first page, from the Page Numbers section of the Insert menu, go to the edit window. Find the third line - "Indicate the number on the first page" - and uncheck the box opposite.
Step 8
If you've already got a document with numbered pages, you can also edit it. To do this, go to the "Insert" section, select the "Page numbers" option. And then in the line "Specify the number on the first page" uncheck the box and click "OK" to make and save the changes.
Step 9
Then you can return to the beginning of the document and make sure that the task of removing the issue from the first page has been solved.
