How to start page numbering from a specific page in a thesis
The title page is usually numbered, although the number is not visible on it. Problems start when a document requires a different title, starting visible numbering after a list of contents, or changing the orientation of selected pages. The solution is sections, not manually deleting numbers.
Key information
- ✓First, determine which pages are counted and where the number is to be displayed.
- ✓Use a division of sections, not multiple division of sides.
- ✓Check the connection to the previous section.
- ✓Check the numbering after exporting to PDF.
Establish a numbering model
Check the university's guidelines: whether the title page is part of the numbering, from which page the number should be visible and where it should be located.
Enter the section breakdown
Place the cursor in front of the page where the new layout is going to start, and add the section section from the next page.
Disconnect the joint and set the start
Open a new section button and disable the connection to the previous one. Then choose the format of the numbers and continue or start at the indicated value.
Final control
Go through the homepage, the content list, the first page of the chapter, and the level pages, update the fields and records, and then export the PDF. See if the changes have resulted in empty pages or duplicate numbers.
Summary
Stable numbering is based on correct section breakdowns and deliberate header connection settings, and you need to update the list of contents after each change and check the finished PDF page on the page.
Frequently asked questions
How do you hide the number only on the title page?
If the numbering is to start much later, a section breakdown and separate footing configuration is needed.
