Edit Page Numbers

To edit page numbers, follow these steps:

1.	In Print Layout View, double-click on any one of the grey page numbers. You can also choose Insert Ribbon tab ► Header/Footer ► Edit Header/Footer depending on where your page number is placed. (If your number is at the top of the page, then you choose Edit Header. If your number is at the bottom of the page, then you choose Edit Footer.) This will open up the Header or Footer area with the page number, usually, in black.
	As an example, I have page 1 numbered at the top left of the page. Once I double-click on the page number, Word opens the Header area of the document since the page number is at the top left of the page.
2.	Modify your page number as you want.
3.	Click the Close Header and Footer button from the Design Ribbon tab.

TIP

To have your pages be numbered as "Page 1", just type the word Page in front of your page number in the Header or Footer area. To have your pages show "Page 1 of 6", you can add the words Page and of to the page number. To add the second number which is the total of pages in your document, do the following: 1. In Header/Footer view (double-click the page number), click on Quick Parts from the Design Ribbon tab. 2. Click on Field. 3. From the Field Names list, choose NumPages. 4. Click OK. The total number of pages are added to the page number. Notice that when you click on the page number or the NumPages field, it turns dark grey? That's Word's way of showing you that you have inserted a field and not just typed the number.
