page numbering a document in word
Hi Stefan_Blom, I found this tech help discussion because I am having trouble with formatting page numbers in a certain way. I'm working on a Mac laptop and I have to use a web browser for word instead of the app as it's for work. I need to have my page numbers start on the second page but with the number 1, but the option to format page numbers isn't available for some reason. I also tried to put a section break like you suggested, but my only option is a page break and that didn't work. I have tried looking for anything that would allow me to do this because I have done it before, but I'm completely lost. I also looked at the link but it didn't have any useful information for me. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
You should be able to download the Mac desktop application Word. Much of the information for the Windows version applies to the Mac version, but many of the controls are a bit different.
The web app simply does not have many of the controls you need for thorough control of page numbering and sections.
