Thumbs up Answer: how to insert page numbers in only one section of a document

Here's how you can insert page numbers in only one section of your document:
  1. First, make sure you have your document divided into two sections. You can do this by inserting a section break. To do this, go to the Page Layout tab, click on Breaks, and select the type of section break you want to use (e.g. Next Page).
  2. Next, go to the section where you want to insert page numbers. Click on the Insert tab, and then click on Page Number.
  3. From the drop-down menu, select the location where you want the page numbers to appear (e.g. Top of Page, Bottom of Page, etc.).
  4. Once you've selected the location, you'll see a list of options for different page number formats. Choose the one you want, or click on Format Page Numbers to customize the format.
  5. If you want to start the page numbering at a specific number (e.g. "Page 5"), click on Page Number again, and then click on Format Page Numbers. Under "Page numbering," select "Start at," and enter the number you want to start with.
  6. Finally, if you want to remove page numbers from the other section of your document, go to that section, click on Page Number, and then select "Remove Page Numbers."

That's it! Your document should now have page numbers in only one section.
