This also helps in ensuring that the pages in your document are read in the correct order when it is printed. Perform the following steps to display basic page numbers or Page X of Y page numbers in your Word documents.

Insert page numbers. Click the Insert tab. In the Header & Footer section, click the Page Number button. From the dropdown menu, select the position of your page numbers: top, bottom, in the margin, or in the current position of the cursor.

Select the style. When you hover your mouse over the location of your choosing, another menu will open with a list of page number styles. These styles will narrow down the location of the page number, as well as dictate how it is presented.
