When we work on a document in Word, we have various options for comprehensive work thanks to the entire set of options that are available there to work with fonts, margins, spacing, etc., but one option that allows us to have a proper order of the content is using the numbering of the pages with which it is possible to integrate other functions such as tables of contents, etc..
It is possible that we want to use the numbering on all the pages of the document or that it is only necessary for the numbering to start from a specific page, TechnoWikis will show you both options depending on your case.
