Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes. You can set any custom starting number, which is incredibly useful when the document is just one chapter of a larger set.

Where can the page numbers be placed?

There are six available positions: the left, center, or right of either the top or bottom margins.

Will the page numbers overlap my existing content?

The numbers sit in the standard page margin. If your document's content stretches all the way to the edges, you may want to test different positions.
