You might want to delete empty lines that follow the newly inserted page numbers. To move these page numbers to the header, select the line with the page numbers.Ĭlick in the header area, and then press Control-V to paste the page numbering from the header. You are done with this procedure and can skip the remaining steps. To leave these page numbers in the footer and return to the body of your document, click Close Header and Footer or double-click anywhere outside of the header or footer areas. Word adds 'Page X of Y' numbering to the center of the footer. On the Header & Footer tab, click Footer, and then scroll downward to find and click the style called Semaphore. When you double-click in a header or footer, Word opens that area for editing and displays the Header & Footer tab. With a document open, double-click in the footer area of a page where you want page numbering.
