In Word, if you want the first page without setting the page number, you can insert the page number first, then select the page number of the first page, and then press the "Delete" key to delete the page number of the first page. You can also select the page number when inserting it and add the page number after the page. Next, let's explain how to set page numbers in Word.
Method 1: 1Open the Word document that you need to set the page number.
2.Select the Insert tab in the menu bar.
3.In the Insert tab, locate the Page Numbers group.
4.Click on the "Page Number" button to pop up a drop-down menu to select different page number styles.
5.Choose your preferred page numbering style, such as in the header, footer, or edge of the page.
6.Word will automatically add page numbers to the document, and each page will display the corresponding page number. At the same time, you can also choose to "add after this page", so that you can set the page number on the first page without setting the page number, and the page number on the follower.
Method 2: 1Double-click the bottom of the page to automatically pop up the tab.
2.In the tab, find the Page Numbers group.
3.Click on the "Page Number" button to pop up a drop-down menu to select different page number styles.
4.Choose your preferred page numbering style, such as in the header, footer, or edge of the page.
5.Word will automatically add page numbers to the document, and each page will display the corresponding page number.
It is important to note that if you need to set page numbers for other pages after the first page, you can follow the steps above. If you need to set page numbers from the second page of the entire document or need to use multiple different forms of page numbers in the same document, you need to use the section function in Word. The specific steps are as follows:
1.Place the cursor over the area where you want to be sectioned.
2.Select the Layout tab in the menu bar.
3.In the Layout tab, find the Separator button.
4.Click the "Separator" button and select "Next".
5.Insert the desired page number on the page where you want to set the page number.
6.Select the page number of the second page and uncheck the "Link to previous section", then the page number of the second page can be formatted in other ways (such as modifying the page number format, changing the starting page number, etc.).
Through the above steps, you can set multiple page number formats in a document.
