In Word 2007 and 2010, you can add page numbers to documents by using the Page Numbering feature. This feature lets you keep track of where each page of a document begins and ends. You can also use this feature to help you organize your documents. To add page numbers to a document, open the document in Word 2007 or 2010 and click on the Page Numbering icon in the top left corner of the window. Then, select the number of pages you want to number. If you want to number only some of the pages in a document, not all of them, select just one or a few pages and then click on OK. The rest of the pages will be numbered automatically. To remove page numbers from a document, open it in Word 2007 or 2010 and click on the Page Numbering icon in the top left corner of the window. Then, select None or any other number for how many pages you want to remove from the document.
Add Page Numbers in 2007
To add page numbers, open your Word document and click the Insert tab on the Ribbon and select Page Number. From here select where you want the page numbers to appear in the document and choose from the gallery of page number formats.
In this example we selected the “Bold Numbers 1” format for the Footer, and after selected they will appear in the document.
After you’ve selected the page number format Headers & Footer Tools open in the Design tab. From here you can change different options such as Different Odd & Even Pages.
If you go to Print Preview, you can see how the page numbers will look when the document is printed out. If it doesn’t look how you like it, you can close out of Print Preview and choose another.
The process is virtually identical in Word 2010 as well. The only difference is when you view it in Print Preview, you’ll have more options offered in Backstage view.

That is really all there is to it. The next time you have a large document with several pages, you’ll be able to insert page numbers to help people keep track of the data.
