Set the starting page number in a page layout document

You can set a starting number or change the number format for a page in a page layout document.

  1. Tap the page numbers at the bottom of the screen to open page thumbnail view, then tap the page you want to change.

  2. Tap the Format button to open Page Layout.

    If the popover that opens doesn’t say Page Layout at the top, make sure you either selected the page in page thumbnail view or tapped an empty spot on the page (so nothing on the page is selected).

  3. Tap Page Numbering, then tap “Start at” and decrease or increase the page number.

  4. Choose an option below Numbering to change the numbering style.

    If the next page in your document has Match Previous Page turned on, its page number increments to the next number and uses the numbering style of this page.
