In this post, I will be discussing how to add page number from the desired page in MS Word. When we write report of some projects, there will be abstract, acknowledgement, table of contents and so on. In this case, probably we desire to include page no. in the document from introduction part of the report. It is just an example. There can be various cases where we actually require to add page no. from desired place. So here is the solution for this problem and getting rid of preparing documents in fragments and then combining those fragments into a single file.
The following steps should be followed:-
1. Open your document file and add page no. in whole document from 'insert' tab in MS Word.
2. Take your mouse cursor on the page from which you want to add page no.
3. Click on 'layout' tab and then on combobox named 'Breaks'. A drop down window will appear. Select the option 'continuous'.
4. Go to the destinated or desired page, double left click on the page no. of that page (suppose you want to add page no. from page 3 then go to page 3 and double right click on the page no. 3). Look at the top bar in 'Design' tab. You can see a label 'Link to previous' selected so unselect it.
5. Go to the following page( if you were in page 3 then go to page 2) and double left click on the page no. of that particular page. Then press backspace(In short, remove that page no.). On doing so, you can see the all page no. above and including that page will be removed. But the page no. say 3 is still numbered the same. So now our task is to change that particular page no. 3 to page no.1 and same as other. It can be done by in the given way:-
i. Double left click on that page no. (i.e. page no.3)
ii. Then go to insert and select 'Format page numbers' form the drop down menu of 'Page no.' . A window will be displayed, under 'page numbering' select 'start at' radio button and write '1' in the box.
In this way, your task will be completed.
