To edit the page number settings,

1. double-click the page number added,
2. change the current parameters on the right sidebar:

   

   • Set the Position of page numbers on the page accordingly to the top and bottom of the page.
   • Check the Different first page box to apply a different page number to the very first page or in case you don't want to add any number to it at all.
   • Use the Different odd and even pages box to insert different page numbers for odd and even pages.
   • The Link to Previous option is available in case you've previously added sections into your document. If not, it will be grayed out. Moreover, this option is also unavailable for the very first section (i.e. when a header or footer that belongs to the first section is selected). By default, this box is checked, so that unified numbering is applied to all the sections. If you select a header or footer area, you will see that the area is marked with the Same as Previous label. Uncheck the Link to Previous box to use different page numbering for each section of the document. The Same as Previous label will no longer be displayed.

     

   • The Page Numbering section allows adjusting page numbering options throughout different sections of the document. The Continue from previous section option is selected by default and makes it possible to keep continuous page numbering after a section break. If you want to start page numbering with a specific number in the current section of the document, select the Start at radio button and enter the required starting value in the field on the right.

To return to the document editing, double-click within the working area.
