Thanks John Daily, yes Google introduced the feature about a year ago. Was not always there.

[@rebeccasilvadacruz752]

Honestly, thank you so much! This was the only video and instructions that made sense and actually worked on the first try!

[@tigertips5309]

Great stuff Rebecca. Glad to hear you are able to number from page 3 now.

[@thisisa-e]

For people who are wondering how to do the same with the footer: just remember to unclick "link to previous" in the footer as well :)

[@tigertips5309]

Thanks for providing this tip.

[@mellifluouswriting]

Ugh for some reason no matter what I do, the page numbers still apply to the first section, even when I follow all your steps.

[@jon-davidhague3904]

Thank you! I was trying and trying to get this to work and you explained it very well! You can start numbering on any page in your document with the method you describe.

If I choose "footer" instead of "header" it doesn't work and it adds number even to previous section. Any workaround?

[@nurainnadia2183]

it works but the page number is at the bottom of the page. after you click off the link to previous, at the numbering choose start at 1.

[@sm4r7m0u53]

@@nurainnadia2183 Sorry, I don't understand what you said. I'm saying that this workaround works only if you want page numbers at the top of the page (as shown in the video). If you want page numbers at the bottom the workaround doesn't work.

[@DianeKDunn]

I have been wrestling with this for over a week. Thank you so much for making it make more sense to me! My only challenge is that after inserting the page break, how do I get rid of the blank sheet that comes before my Page where I begin numbering? I really did not understand what you meant by "dragging the text over the gap." That might be why I have the blank page. Can you please advise?

[@audrey9302]

i just ignored that part. i just added a page break, removed the gap (command+delete), and then went back to the footer as shown in the vid

Is there any way for the page number to appear on the right-hand side instead of the left?

Yes Lydia, double click on the header or footer (where ever the page numbers are located) then click on the page number and click the right-justify button in the menu up top. The page number will move from left to right.

@@tigertips5309 I think I'm having the same problem. I'm unable to find how to remove the empty page created when clicking page break. You said you "bring the text over the gap" at 0:22, but how?

[@tigertips5309]

@@GeneralSpazesSpy Can you try placing the cursor in front of your text and click backspace continually to bring it up and over the gap?

[@GeneralSpazesSpy]

I found out how to do it!
You cannot use ctrl + enter when moving text to the next page (since that also is a page break).
