Computer Tips, Tricks, Tweaks and Tutorials - How Do You Number Your Pages in MS Word?

Today I want to talk to you about the page numbering in Microsoft Word. The standard setting of the page numbering in MS Word is that the numbering starts from the first page which probably is your cover.

If you are writing an e-book or some sort of other document then you don’t want to start on your cover with your numbering. You might even want to skip the index with the numbering. I’ll show you in the Tip and Trick of tomorrow how to do this. First we’ll start with the basics.

How to insert page numbering starting on the first page.

This is for Microsoft Word 2007 but the previous versions work in practically the same way.

You’ll find the Page Number options in the Insert tab from your menu bar.

This is how you can activate them and as you can see there are several options that you can use starting with the looks and position of the numbering. If you never used this before then I suggest that you just play around with it and see what you can do with it. Especially Word 2007 has some great options.

Tomorrow ill show you how to start the number on the second page and ill also show you some other cool tricks. I’ll see you all tomorrow.
