We number the pages in a Microsoft Office Word document, starting from the second

Why is this particular text editor so popular? It's all about what exactly Microsoft Office Word contains a large number of tools for working with text and at the same time is extremely convenient and simple. But despite its apparent simplicity, many users working with this editor have many questions. The most common questions are related to page numbering. Numbering the pages of a Microsoft Office Word document is not that difficult. Just go to the desired section and set the necessary parameters. But what if you, for example, need to number a document from the second page in a given text editor? Let's look into this issue.

It all starts with opening the desired text document. Having opened the document, you need to go to the section "Insert". Here click on the tab "Page number" and select the desired location of the number on the page.


Now in the "tab"Page number"select item"Page Number Format". A window will open in which you need to check the box next to "begin with". Since we are considering numbering from the second page, we select page 2. It looks like this.


Let's consider a slightly different situation. You have a ready-made Microsoft Office Word text document and you need to make sure that the numbering starts from the second page, but the second page of the document must have its own serial number. This is quite easy to do. Again, go to the section "Insert"and here we go to the tab"Page number". Select the required type of numbering and click on it. After this, a new panel will appear that looks something like this.


We are looking for the item "Special header and footer for the first page" and put a tick next to it. After that close the header and footer window. After these steps, the number on the first page will disappear and numbering will begin from the second page. All this is shown more clearly in the screenshot.
If you need to number a Microsoft Office Word document starting from the second page, then this is quite simple. Just use the tips given in this article.
