A practical guide

Make the report easier to cite in review.

  1. Choose the report copy and set the numbering style and start value.
  2. Select a position that fits the report's page layout.
  3. Preview a text-heavy page and a figure page, then verify the sequence.

Try this example

Number a seven-page proposal from 1 at bottom center. Inspect the budget table and the chart page to make sure the overlay does not cover footnotes or legends.

Before

  • Unnumbered pages

After

  • Pages labelled 1,2,3
Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Before you start: Page numbers are overlays and can cover content if placed poorly; the tool does not rewrite printed references.
