LEARNING NO. 10: PAGINATION AND THE OTHERS

PAGINATION
- Lets you to make pages in your documents.

How do I start page numbers on the second page of my Word 2010 document?

Micorosoft Word Icon
Word 2010, by default, starts page numbers on the first page of a document, but in some cases, this doesn't make sense. If the first page is a cover page, or a title page, then the second page of the document should be page 1, and the first page shouldn't be labeled at all.
In order to start page numbering on the second page in Microsoft Word 2010, follow the instructions below. Follow the instructions at this link for roman numerals.
Word page numbering screen shot
  • Insert page numbers by clicking on the Insert tab and choosing Page Number in the Header & Footer tab. Then select the position of the numbering.
  • Because the new page numbers will be selected, the Design tab for Header & Footer Tools will appear. Under Options, select Different First Page. (This will start page numbering page 2, but the second page will be labeled "2". This isn't what we wanted. There is an extra step to making this page say "1".)
  • While the Design tab for Header & Footer is still up, select Page Number in the Header & Footer group. Then choose Format Page Number.
  • The resulting window is shown to the right. Change the radial button at the bottom to Start at and type in 0. Then click OK.
  • if your document already has content in the header or footer, you can add the page number to the header or footer.
    If you want to use one of the preformatted page number designs, but you want more information in the header or footer than just the page number, it is easiest to start with a page number and then add other text or graphics to the header or footer.
     NOTE   Many of the footer designs in the gallery of footers already include the page number as part of the content.
HEADER:
- double-clicking the top of the page, shows the header and the footer of the page.
Header is used for the Title of the Document being performed and other.
Microsoft Office Word 2007 includes many predesigned headers or footers that you can insert into your document. Or you can create a header or footer from scratch. See information later in this article for steps to include the following popular items in the header or footer:

Insert a predefined header or footer

  1. On the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Header or Footer.
Word Ribbon Image
  1. Click the header or footer design that you want.
 NOTE   If you don't see a gallery of header or footer designs, there might be a problem with the Building Blocks template on your computer. See I don't see galleries of page numbers, headers and footers, cover pages, or equations for information about how to fix this problem.
The header or footer is inserted on every page of the document.
 NOTES 
  • If necessary, you can format the text in the header or footer by selecting the text and using the formatting options on the Mini toolbar, which is a part of the Microsoft Office Fluent interface.
  • If you want to switch to a different predefined header or footer, repeat these steps, and choose a different header or footer from the gallery.

Insert a custom header or footer

  1. On the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Header or Footer.
Word Ribbon Image
  1. Click Edit Header or Edit Footer.
  2. Type text or insert graphics and other content by using the options in the Insert group on the Design tab, under the Header & Footer Tools tab.
Word Ribbon Image
 TIP   To save the header or footer that you created to the gallery of header or footer options, select the text or graphics in the header or footer, and then click Save Selection as New Header or Save Selection as New Footer.

Make the first page header or footer different from the rest of the pages

  1. On the first page of the document, double click the header or footer area.
  2. Under Header & Footer Tools, on the Design tab, in the Options group, select the Different First Page check box.
 NOTE   If your document includes a cover page from the gallery of cover pages in Office Word 2007, the Different First Page option is already turned on. Inserting or editing a header or footer on this page does not affect the other pages in the document.
  1. Create a header or footer, or make changes to the existing header or footer, on the first page.

Use no header or footer on the first page

  1. On the first page of the document, double click the header or footer area.
  2. Under Header & Footer Tools, on the Design tab, in the Options group, select the Different First Page check box.
 NOTE   If the Different First Page check box is already checked, do not clear it. Go on to the next step.
  1. In the First Page Header or First Page Footer area, delete the contents of the header or footer.

Make the header or footer different for odd and even pages


For example, you can use the title of the document on odd-numbered pages, and the chapter title on even-numbered pages. Or, for a booklet, you can place page numbers on odd-numbered pages to be on the right side of the page and page numbers on even-numbered pages to be on the left side of the page. This way, the page numbers are always on the outside edge when the pages are printed on both sides of the paper.
