Change the page numbering style
By default, pages are numbered using Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3...); however, you can number pages using upper or lowercase Roman (i, ii, iii...) or
alphanumeric (a, b, c...) numbering. You can also number pages using preceding zeros. Each part of the document that uses a different
numbering style is called a section. For more information on sections, see
Define section numbering .
Page Numbering Gallery
In Japanese, Chinese, or Korean versions, by default, Arabic numerals are used for page numbers. However, if you use the Numbering & Section
Options command, you can specify the style of numbering, such as Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, Kanji, and so on. The Style option allows
you to select the number of digits in the page number, for example, 001 or 0001. Each part of the document that uses a different numbering style
is called a section. For more information on sections, see
Define section numbering .
Use the Numbering & Section Options dialog box to change the page numbering style to use a different format. You can also use this dialog box to
restart page numbering or to start page numbering at a number you specify.
1. In the Pages panel, select the page where you want the new numbering style section to begin.
2. Choose Layout > Numbering & Section Options.
3. Specify options, and then click OK. See Document numbering options .
A section indicator icon appears above the page icon in the Pages panel, indicating the start of a new section.
If a number or letter appears before the current page number you inserted, it means a section prefix is included. If you don’t want this
prefix, deselect Include Prefix When Numbering Pages in the Numbering & Section Options dialog box.
