Instructions
Step 1
Most research papers require pagination to be formatted. To add numbers, in the top menu, select "Insert", then click "Page Numbers".
Step 2
Determine the position of the number on the page. It can be placed at the top and bottom. Alignment can be done in five ways: left, right, from center, inside, outside. The choice of where to place the number on the page depends on the specific format of your work and the requirements for it.
Step 3
The title page is usually not numbered. If your work involves a title page, uncheck the box next to "Number on the first page". In general, in the page number format, you can choose which sheet to start the numbering from.
Step 4
You can also change the type of the room at your discretion. Click on the "Format" button. Pages can be numbered with ordinary Arabic numerals 1, 2, 3, numbers with dashes - 1 -, - 2 -, - 3 -, Roman numerals I, II, III, Latin letters a, b, c and other options. The page number format can also include the chapter number. For example, 1-A is the first heading, page A.
Step 5
To start a new page, go to the "Insert" menu, select "Break". Check the box next to the "Start a new page" item, confirm your choice by clicking the "OK" button. If you have enabled the insertion of page numbers, the numbering of each new page will be done automatically. Since the "activation" of numbering is a one-time procedure, there are no hotkeys for it.
Step 6
When composing the content, it is useful to indicate in which page range a particular section is located. This will help you and your reader navigate your work. Select Insert - Link - Table of Contents & Indexes. Go to the "Table of Contents" insert. There should be a check mark next to the item "Show page numbers".
