page numbering

Hi sbi33. Welcome to the TenForums @sbi33

What product are you using, sounds like Word, which year.

Not sure what year you are using, here are instructions for 2013.

Could I suggest you start a new document, make it simple a word on each page, say three pages long. Then in Word 2013, which would be like 2016, click on Insert along the top, then page number, then bottom of page. There should be page numbers on all pages. Is there?

The ribbon should change to Header Footer Tools, then click Page number and then Format page number and choose start on page 2. Did this work.?

If the above worked then there is formatting within your current doc that is restricting pages. If it didn't work then I would suggest there is something corrupt within your app.

 

page numbering

I tried your suggestion SoFine but split it into three sections
section 1 - pages not to be numbered
section 2 - main part with mostly words
section 3 - contains mainly jpg, pdf and some words
was able to number OK sections 2 and 3, section 2 numbered from 1 - 110, section 3 numbered from 111 - 234
combined sections 2 and 3, the numbering stayed as wanted.
inserted section 1 at front of document and the numbering stated as 1 at the first page of the document not at page 8.
I have found a company to print it for me, BookPrintingUK.com, I could send them the two files and hope that they can print it OK.
But two files is a bit messy

 

documents to go

If downloading and re-installing the Desktop Application does not help, allow me to suggest to additional resources from "Documents to Go":
