About the Add Page Numbers

Page numbers make long documents easy to navigate and reference. Add numbers in any of six positions, in formats like “1”, “Page 1” or “Page 1 of 10”, start from any number and skip cover pages.

When to use it

  • Numbering a thesis or report before submission
  • Adding numbers to merged documents
  • Preparing court bundles or tender documents
  • Making printed manuals easier to follow

Tips for the best results

  • Skip the first page or two for a cover and contents page
  • Bottom centre is the most common position for reports
  • Merge files first, then number them, so numbering runs through the whole document
