Numbering pages in Microsoft word 2007?

Question

I have a document with a title page, 3 pages (including table of contents) and then the main body of the document. I want to label the 3 pages with i, ii, iii. Then the rest with 1, 2,3 etc. How do I do this in Microsoft Word 2007 and have the Table of Contents update correctly?

Answer 1

Make the first three pages a separate section and set its numbering to Roman numerals. Make the second section restart numbering at one.



Here's how:



1. At the top of the first page you want Arabic-numbered, click the Page Layout->Page Setup->Breaks icon.

2. Insert a Next Page type section break.

3. Click the Insert->Page Numbers->Format Page Numbers menu item.

4. In the Page Numbers dialog box, click the Format button.

5. Since you don’t want the page numbers to be continuous between the two sections, set Page Numbering to start at number one. The radio button should switch to Start At.

6. Click OK.

7. Go back to the first page of the document (now in the first section).

8. Repeat steps 3-4, but this time set the Number format to Roman Numerals.

9. Repeat steps 5-6. (Note: The actual insertion of page numbers in the page header or footer doesn't have to happen. Only the formatting selection is necessary. To avoid the insertion, click the Cancel button instead of the OK in Step 6))

Answer 2

Yes. If you put a Section break (not a page break) at the end of the first page, and another at the end of the pages you want numbered with Roman numerals, you can set each section's header or footer to have or not have page numbers, can start both numbered sections at 1, and can use Roman in one section and Arabic in the other. Here are the details: To insert a section break, do this: 1. Click the cursor where you want the section break to go. 2. Click the Page Layout tab on the ribbon. 3. Click the Break button 4. Click Next Page. To turn off the headers and/or footers for the unnumbered section, do this: 1. If there aren't already headers or footers in the document, insert them as you need and select a page number position. 2. Double-click in the header in the second (Roman numeral) section. 3. Deselect Link to Previous. This will separate the headers for the first and second section. 4. Repeat, if necessary, for the footer. Now to set the numbering and formatting. Repeat this for each of the two numbered sections: 1. Double-click in the header or footer. 2. Click the Page Number button in the Header & Footer group. 3. Click Format Page Numbers. 4. In the Number format list box, select either Arabic or Roman numerals. 5. Click the Start at radio button. A 1 should appear in the combination box next to it. 6. Click OK. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

I assume you already have Microsoft Word open.

Next to Home you would see Insert, click that. Then about half way you would see Page Number and a drop down. Then select Format Page Numbers, this allows you to choose what kind you want.



If that doesn't work you might have to manually type it in, by selecting Headers with the drop down. And Manually typing in I,II,III and 1 2 3.



Hope I helped
