Adding page numbers to a dissertation can
be tricky
since we will use both Roman Numerals and
Arabic Numbers in our document.
In order to do this,
we must first divide our document into sections.
Since our title and copyright pages do not
contain page numbers,
let's begin by clicking on the last line of
the copyright page.
First, we will select the Page Layout ribbon,
at the top of the screen,
locate the Page Setup group
and click on Breaks and Next Page.
This will create a break between the first
two, unnumbered pages
and the rest of the document.
This will also create a blank page in our
document,
which we can remove by hitting the Delete
key,
not the Backspace key,
until the blank page has been removed.
Now, let's locate the beginning of Chapter
1 in our document.
There it is!
We will scroll back up to the page before
our Chapter 1 starts,
click on the last line of that page,
and create another break.
Again, click Break, and Next Page.
Just like before, a break has been created
as well as a blank page,
and we need to press the Delete key to remove
the blank page.
We now have three sections in our document.
Section 1 containing our blank pages,
Section 2 containing Roman Numerals,
and Section 3 containing Arabic Numbering.
Starting at Chapter 1, click on the Insert
ribbon,
locate the Header and Footer group
and click Footer, and Edit Footer.
This will show our headers and footers
as well as indicate our sections.
You can tell what section you're in by looking
at the blue box on the header or footer.
By default, all our the header and footer
sections we've created are connected.
So now we must unlink them in order to allow
for our differing numbering systems.
CLick on the footer, and with the Design ribbon
selected,
you will see a yellow, highlighted box that
says Link to Previous.
Click that box to unlink footer.
Now, click in the header and we will do the
same thing.
Our Section 3 is now unlinked, so let's scroll
up a page,
which is the last page in Section 2,
and click in the footer, click the Link to
Previous,
and do the same with the header.
Now that all of our sections have been created
and unlinked,
let's scroll up to the first page that will
contain page numbers.
Click in the footer area and then select the
Insert ribbon.
Click on Page Number, Bottom of Page
and select Page Number 2.
Page numbers have been added to our section
and now we must format them.
With the Design ribbon selected, click on
the Page Number,
on the top left of the screen, and select
Format Page Numbers.
Click on the drop-down menu beside the words
"Number Format",
and select Roman Numerals.
Where it says Page Numbering,
we will change our start at page to iii (three)
since our first two pages are unnumbered.
Press OK and our page numbers are now Roman
Numerals.
We can scroll back down to the beginning of
Chapter 1
to add our second set of numbers.
Just like before, click in the footer
go to Insert, Page Number, Bottom of Page,
and Plain Number 2.
We can keep the default numbering and now
our document has
both sets of page numbers.
