FAQ
Where can I place page numbers? ▼
You can choose from six positions: bottom center (most common), bottom left, bottom right, top center, top left, or top right. Each position places the page number consistently on every page of the document.
Can I start from a custom number? ▼
Yes, you can set any starting number you prefer. This is particularly useful for multi-part documents, appendices, or chapters that need to continue numbering from a previous section.
What formats are available? ▼
Three formats are available: simple sequential numbers (1, 2, 3), contextual 'Page X of N' format that shows total page count, or decorative dash format (- 1 -, - 2 -) for a more elegant typographic appearance.
