What you can use it for
Numbering a document before printing or binding is the main use — reports, dissertations, contracts and handouts all read better with page numbers.
Legal and official paperwork often has to be numbered so that every page can be referred to precisely; "see page 12" only works if the pages are numbered.
Anyone merging several files into one uses this afterwards to give the combined document a single, continuous set of numbers.
Teachers and trainers number worksheets and packs so a class can be told to turn to the right page.
Things to know
Numbers are drawn as real text on each page in a clean, built-in font, so they stay crisp at any zoom and print sharply.
The "start at" setting is useful when a cover page should not count — begin numbering at the second page by choosing which page to start from.
Formats with "N" fill in the real total automatically, so "1 of 20" reflects the actual page count.
