I put together this video to help you quickly add page numbers in Google Docs — especially useful for essays, reports, and client documents that need to look clean and professional.

Google Docs makes it simple, but the options aren’t always obvious. In this tutorial, I cover:

  1. Opening your document
  2. Clicking Insert > Page numbers
  3. Choosing where to place the numbers — top-right, bottom-right, or custom
  4. Adjusting the header/footer if you want to skip numbering the first page
  5. Customizing font, size, and alignment if needed

I use this all the time when formatting student resources, downloadable PDFs, or proposal documents — it’s one of those small details that makes everything look more polished.

Do you usually format Docs with headers, footers, and numbers, or keep things minimalist?
