First Page Number
I have been through the previous posts in this forum regarding the first page not being numbered, but none seems to work in my case... Why can I not force my document to start numbering from the actual first page? How do I do this? Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 12-06-2018 at 08:26 AM. Reason: Mark as solved |

You can have your numbering start from the physical first page.
Do you mean that some page other than the first page is numbered as 1? Do you mean you can't get any page number on the first page? Do you have a cover page? What happens on page 1 if you press Ctrl+Shift+P? Cmd+Shift+P? Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 12-04-2018 at 10:32 AM. |

The first page is considered the cover page, so it is not numbered. The numbering starts at the next page, which is the second page. I would like to start the numbering from the actual first page which is the cover page, so that it is consistent with the "Page" field that shows in the bottom left corner of the document. When I do Cmd+Shift+P, I get the Template dialog window of Word. I have looked through the lengthy page whose link you have included, but cannot seem to be able to figure out how to do this on my Mac Word.

To do in Word for the Mac. Ctrl+Shift+P
Otherwise, I assume you have function keys. Type the word "page" without the quotation marks. Select that. Press Cmd+F9 and then F9. https://support.office.com/en-us/art...k_workfields16 Either of these inserts a page field at the insertion point. That will reflect the "formatted" page number. |

Did you use Insert > Cover Page to start your cover page, then you may be falling under the Cover Pages and Page Numbering and Cover Page Anomalies. If it simply another page make sure you are not restarting your page numbering on page 2. The Insert Page Number command for any position other than the current position gives you something in a header or footer even if it looks like it is not. In the Windows version it replaces current headers/footers with a page number. Since normally page numbers are intrinsically linked with headers and footers, an understanding of those can be very important in figuring out what is happening with page numbering.
