Inserting different page numbers is easy and incorporates the concept of section breaks. Using section breaks in a document allows you to link and unlink sections of the document. If the sections are not linked, you can use different page numbering schemes in each section. You can use I,ii,iii in one section and 1,2,3 in another.

How to Insert Different Page Numbers in a Word 2010 Document


1. Place the cursor on the page of the document where you want to start numbering. Go to the "Page Layout" tab Click "Breaks" Then click "Next Page" under "Section Breaks"

2. Go to the "Insert" tab and Select "Footer" from the "Header and Footer" section Click "Edit Footer" from the drop-down menu The footer will be visible and the cursor will be active in it

3. With the curse still active in the footer, go to the "Design" tab. Under the design tab: Click the "Link to Previous" button (the button will be highlighted orange, click to un-highlight it) This will break the link from the previous section and allow you to begin numbering here

5. The "Format Page Number" dialog box will open Select a numbering format under Number format: Click "Start At" select a number to start with, or type the number in the box Click OK

If you want to use a different numbering format later in the document, be sure to add another section break and unlink that section. If you know from the start that you want to use different numbering formats, insert those sections breaks and unlink them first. That way you can be sure to get the right numbers where you want them.
