Pro Tips
- Use bottom-center for most professional documents.
- Start numbering from page 2 if page 1 is a cover page.
- Use Roman numerals (i, ii, iii) for preface pages, then switch to standard numbers for main content.
Common Issues
Numbers overlapping content?
Adjust the margin settings to move numbers further from the page edge, or choose a different position (e.g., switch from bottom to top).
Wrong starting number?
Check the 'Start From' setting. Set it to 1 for the first page, or higher if continuing from a previous document.
