How to add page numbers in LibreOffice
If necessary, you can find and download the latest version of LibreOffice here. It is completely free to use, although you will need to grant it some permissions to access existing documents.
Step 1 – Open the document. Select the footer area of the first page.
Step 2: choose base box to open the menu.
Step 3: Choose Enter the page number.
Step 4 – The highlighted page number will now appear in your footer and all footers in your document on every page. The number will appear where the footer cursor is currently located, so you can simply place the cursor where you want the number ( eyelash key works fine here) before inserting the page number. You can also use the align buttons just like you would normal text.
Step 5 – You can change the font and size of your page number using the same font tools on the toolbar that work for the rest of your document.
Step 6: For more options, double click your page number and it will show edit field window where you can choose from a variety of specific page number formats.
you will also see Change box here: The number you type here will remove that many pages from the bottom of the document and start the page numbering system early, i.e. if you typed “2” then the last two pages of the document will not be numbered, and the numbering will start with “3” instead of “1”.
Step 7 – If for some reason your document doesn’t work well with footers due to the format you’re using or the work you’re doing, you can also add a page number by selecting Insert tab in the menu and selecting it Page number
Step 8 – If you want your cover to not have a page number, you can go to your cover, select Format in the menu, then select Front page…
This menu includes a number of options, including the ability to set a specific amount title pages (such as those in the preface, table of contents, etc.) and where you want them. These pages will not count for numbering purposes.
Step 9: You can also insert the current page number anywhere by moving the cursor to that location, selecting Insertthen selecting Field. Here you will see another option to add a Page number.
Step 10: You may have also seen an option to add a Number of pages in these menus. This pastes the current page total wherever the cursor is; don’t confuse it with adding a page number.
