Page numbering - Odd and Even, and other things in Word 2007

If you do NOT want page numbers on page 1, then be ON page 2 or higher and insert page numbers. In Table Design check on Different First Page.

If you want page numbers on Left or Right, insert them on the specific side required AFTER checking Different Odd and Even pages in Table Design.

If you want the page numbers to start at 69, in Table Design, on the left hand side look at Page Numbers, Format Page Numbers, and check on where it should start.

You may have to redo a few steps if … It is NOT fluid. Do not bother with section breaks.

Word – Inserting page numbers

The following is found on the Grade 12 Exemplar:

Insert page number fields in the format of ‘Page X of Y’ in the footer so that the page numbering starts to appear on the second page.

To do this make sure you have a document longer than 1 page.

In Microsoft products there are normally a number of ways of doing this. Here are 2 possibilities.
Method 1 - Select anywhere on page 1, then go to Insert, Page Numbers, deselect Show number of first page. Then scroll to any page, not the first page, of the document. Click anywhere on the page. Go to View, Header and Footer, go the area where you want the page number (Header or Footer). Click on the Insert AutoText drop down button, and select Page X of Y. Remove the other page number. There you have it.
Method 2 - Go to File, Page Setup, then Layout. Select Different first page. Then scroll to any page, not the first page, of the document. Click anywhere on the page. Go to View, Header and Footer, go the area where you want the page number (Header or Footer). Click on the Insert AutoText drop down button, and select Page X of Y.

The important thing is to do it from the second page.

This can be done in Activity 5, Page 184 of CAT 1.
