Join Jess Stratton for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding page numbering, part of Google Docs Essential Training.
- It's easy to add page numbers to your Google Doc.…Click Insert from the top menu and select Page number.…You need to decide whether you want your page numbers…to be at the top of the page, in the header,…or at the bottom of the page, in the footer.…I'll choose the Bottom of the page,…and you'll see the page number inserted into the footer.…Note that any existing footer you have in there…is left alone and untouched.…There's something else that you can do with page numbers.…You can also include a total page count,…which is helpful to tell the reader of your document…what page they're currently on…and how many pages there are.…
Here's my page number.…I'm going to now type the word of, type a space,…come back into the Insert menu,…and choose Page count.…It's going to insert the total page count…that is continuously updated as I add more pages.…I'm going to click away from this footer,…so that we can see what it looks like.…Now I can see at the bottom that this is page 1 of 3.…If I scroll down, it's updated to page 2 of 3,…
