Questions about add page numbers
Where can the numbers go?
Any of six places: the bottom or top, on the left, centre or right.
Can I start from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set the start number, which is handy when the first page is a cover.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The numbers are added in your browser.
Plan the numbering
Choose where the number sits from six positions: bottom or top, on the left, centre or right. Bottom centre or bottom right suits most documents. Pick a format of 1, Page 1, or 1 / N, where N is the total number of pages, which helps readers see how much is left.
If the first page is a cover, set the start number so the first content page begins at 1. If you are building one document from several files, merge them first and add numbers last so the sequence runs through the whole thing.
Check the margins
Numbers are placed near the edge of the page. Look at the result to make sure they do not collide with a footer, a stamp or a page border that is already printed there. If they do, try a different position, such as the top.
