have you ever struggled with adding page
0:01
numbers to a Word document especially
0:03
when you want them to start from a
0:05
specific page hi I'm nebba in this video
0:08
I'll show you how to insert page numbers
0:10
in msword starting from a specific page
0:13
to add page numbers in Microsoft Word
0:15
click on insert at the top left then
0:18
page number and select your preferred
0:20
location notice that on this document
0:22
every page including the cover page has
0:25
page numbers however I don't want page
0:28
numbers on my cover page so let's make
0:31
the numbering start on page two to do
0:33
that I'll double click on the footer of
0:35
the document and under header footer
0:37
tools at the top I'll click on the
0:39
different first page toggle as a result
0:42
the number on my cover page has vanished
0:45
yet the numbering on my second page
0:47
still begins at two to fix this I'll
0:49
click on insert then page number then
0:53
format page numbers set my page
0:55
numbering to start at zero and click
0:57
okay perfect now my second page is
1:00
numbered one however this also happens
1:03
to be the table of contents page so I'd
1:06
prefer to have the numbering start on
1:08
page three stay alert since you have to
1:10
hit the like button and subscribe
1:12
because this is where it becomes a
1:14
little more complicated in msword the
1:17
only way to make page numbers start from
1:19
Pages three and up is through a feature
1:22
called section breaks to add a section
1:24
break after page two I'll first place my
1:27
cursor below the table of contents then
1:29
click on on layout breaks and under
1:31
Section breaks click next page you can
1:34
reveal the section Break by clicking the
1:36
Home tab then the show hiide icon as you
1:39
can see the section Breck has created an
1:41
extra page on my document so I'll delete
1:44
it and toggle off the show hiide icon
1:46
before we can continue now that the
1:48
section breaks splits the document into
1:50
two main sections each one can be
1:52
numbered separately so it's time to add
1:55
page numbers once more all right I've
1:58
added the page numbers and as you can
2:00
see there is still some numbering on the
2:02
cover and table of contents pages but
2:05
deleting the page numbers on those two
2:07
pages also delet them in the other
2:10
section that's because the phoo of
2:11
section two is linked to that of section
2:14
one and that's why it's mentioned here
2:16
same as previous to unlink the two
2:19
sections double click the footer of
2:21
section two then click link to previous
2:23
on the header footer tab you can now see
2:26
that the same as previous notice in the
2:28
footer has disappeared that means I can
2:30
make an independent page numbering
2:33
starting from page three all I have to
2:35
do is click on any page in section two
2:38
and insert my page numbers thanks for
