Adding Page Numbering
In most documents of any length, you will want to add
page numbers on each page. To do so, go to the Insert
Tab and click on Page Number in the Header and Footer
Section (see picture upper right). Select where you want
to locate the page number (top or bottom) and then
select the location on the portion of the page where you
want the number to be placed (left, middle, or right).

The program will insert page numbers in the header or
footer of each page. You will have to exit the header and
footer setup by clicking on the “Close Header and Footer”
box with a red X in it. You will then note that your
document has page numbers inserted.

You can customize your page numbering by clicking on
“Format Page Numbering” in the Page Number dropdown
menu.

Inserting and Adding Objects

Many different elements could be added to your Word document. To find these various options, go to the Insert
Tab. Some of the most commonly used elements are Tables, Pictures, Shapes, Charts, and Word Art. How to use
these elements will be discussed in more detail below.

Table
Tables are used to place your items in columns and rows, similar to those in Excel. To insert a table, go to the
Insert Tab > Table. This will display a box where you can select how many columns and rows you would like your
table to have by hovering over them (bottom left). For more detailed options, click Insert Table. This will bring up
the insert table display box. Here you can specify how many rows and columns the table has, as well as how the
content fits into the boxes (bottom right).
