Page numbers serve an important function in your Microsoft Word documents, but they can be a bit boring. If you’d like to draw attention to page numbers, try adding color and graphics.

You can add page numbers in Word to the header or footer sections of a document using the page numbers option in the Insert menu.

If you run into a conditional header or footer request that you can't handle, take a look at Word fields. They're not magic, but it kind of feels like magic when they do what you want.
