You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.), click in a section or select multiple sections in which you want to change the page number format.
2. On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers.
3. Click Format.
4. In the Number format box, click the format you want.

 Note   If your document contains multiple chapters or sections, you may want to restart page numbering with 1 for each section.

To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.), and then, in the footer area, click where you want to place the page numbers.

3. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Insert AutoText, and then click Page X of Y.

1. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.

If you inserted page numbers by using the Page Numbers command on the Insert menu, make sure to select the page number inside its frame (frame: A container that you can resize and position anywhere on the page. To position text or graphics that contain comments, footnotes, endnotes, or certain fields, you must use a frame instead of a text box.).
