How to Number All Pages in Google Docs Automatically
When your document requires numbers on every page, insert them and set them to automatically update when pages are added or deleted from the document.
How to Start Page Numbering on Page 2
If you don’t want the cover page to be assigned a page number, start the page numbering on the second page of the document. This way, the second page of the document is page one.
How to Hide the Number on the First Page
If there are page numbers on every page of your document, but you don’t want to display the page number on the first page, remove the number from the first page. This doesn’t affect the page numbering of the other pages in the document, meaning the second page, for example, remains page No. 2.
How to Move a Page Number
By default, the page number appears along the right margin of the document. However, you’re free to move it to the center or to the left.
How to Delete Page Numbers in Google Docs
If you later decide you don’t want to show page numbers in the document, delete the page numbering. To do so, select any page number then press Delete.
How to Add a Page Count
If the document needs to specify the number of pages in a document, add a page count. This page count updates when pages are added or deleted from the document.
