How to start page numbering on page 3 in Google Docs
To start pagination on page 3 in a Google document, you must first remove all of your existing footers by double-clicking on them and clicking “Delete Footer”.
Second, you need to insert a section break on page 2.
Finally, you need to uncheck “Link to previous page” on page 3, click on “Page number” and apply it.
By doing so, page numbering will start from page 3.
Remember, if you want to start page numbering on a particular page, you need to insert a section break on the previous page.
For example, if you want to start page numbering on page 3, you need to insert a section break on page 2.
Here’s how to start pagination on page 3 in Google Docs:
Note: You can skip this step if you haven’t added any page numbers to your document.
The first step is to remove all your existing footer (containing the page number).
If you have added page numbers to your document, you need to remove them.
To do so, double-click the bottom of the page that contains the page number.
After double clicking on the bottom of the page, you will see the footer bar.
On the footer bar, click “Options” and click “Remove Footer” to remove the footer.
Repeat this step until you remove all your current footer.
2. Insert a section break on page 2
After you have removed all the current footer, you need to insert a section break.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to start pagination from a particular page.
For example, if you want to start page numbering on page 2, you need to insert a section break on page 1.
Since you are wanting to start page numbering on page 3, you need to insert a section break on page 2.
First, navigate to page 2 of your document.
When you’re on page 2, click Insert > Break > Section Break (next page).
This will add a section break on page 2 so you can start numbering on page 3.
3. Uncheck “Link to previous section” and open “Page number” on page 3
After you add a section break on page 2, a new page is added.
You may need to press the backspace key on your keyboard until the page is deleted.
Now, you need to navigate to page 3 of the document.
Once you’re on page 3, double-click the bottom of the page to edit the footer.
Now, uncheck “Link to First” and click “Options”.
Finally, click “Page number” to start adding page numbers on page 3.
4. Apply these settings
After you have clicked on “Page number”, you will need to modify its settings.
First, click the “Applies to” drop-down box and select “This section”.
Second, select the “Footer” location and tick the “Show on First Page” checkbox.
Third, select “Start at” and make sure the field is set to “1”.
Finally, click “Apply” to add the page number starting from page 3.
5. Align page numbers to the right
After you click “Apply”, the page number will start at page 3.
However, page numbers will now be left aligned.
If you want to align the page numbers to the right, you must first double-click the page number.
Finally, click “Align Right” on the top navigation bar in Google Docs.
