How do I add page numbers to my document?

Answer

To add page numbers to your document:

  1. In Word, click once on the Insert tab and then once on the Page Numbers icon.

  2. In the drop down menu that appears, hover over the option for Top of Page. Then click once on the Plain Number 3 option (in the image, you'll see that the page number will be placed on the top right sde of the page).

  3. You'll see that page numbers have been added to the Header of your document. To go back to working on your document, click once on the Close Header and Footer button.
