How to setup page numbering from a specific page in Word

If your business is a regular user of Microsoft Word, you will want to ensure
that you know all the best ways to maximise your efficiency on a day to day
basis.

With this in mind, in our latest blog article, we will provide you with a step by
step guide on how to setup page numbering from a specific page within
Microsoft Word.

Step 1: Select which page you wish to start the numbering from

Step 2: Move the cursor to the start of that page from here select ‘Page
Layout’ followed by ‘Breaks’.

Step 3: Select the ‘Next Page’ option (see above). You will find that
this option will create a new section break and begins a new section on the
page that you asked for.

Step 4: Next make you way over to ‘Insert’ then hit the ‘Page
Number’ option. Select whichever format you like. For the purposes of this
article, we will pick the ‘Bottom Of Page’ option.

After you have selected an option, you will find that you can now see
all your pages as well as the first ones which are now numbered.

Step 5: While you have the page numbering editor open, you will need to
select ‘Link to Previous’ & check that it is not highlighted as it will stop
Word from counting the page numbers.

Step 6: Once you have completed this, simply delete the numbers for the
pages that you don’t want to have a page number.

Step 7: To get to the last step, make your way back to ‘Insert’ followed
by ‘Page Number’ and then hit the ‘Format Page Numbers’ option.

Step 8: Once this window opens, go to the Page Numbering section and
select ‘Start at 1’ then hit ‘Ok’ and the process is complete!
