FAQ
Why are page numbers applied to the whole document after insertion?
- Preset page number styles usually apply directly to the current page area of the document.
- If the document does not use extra section settings, page numbers continue through the whole document.
- If you need to adjust the scope, open More Settings and review the apply range options.
How do I fix page numbers that are not continuous?
- First, check whether the document contains different page ranges or section settings.
- Open More Settings and review whether the starting number has been reset.
- Set the starting number again and confirm whether the final numbering is continuous.
Can I change the page number style only for the first page or for odd and even pages?
- Open the Page Number settings from Insert.
- Go to More Settings.
- Select Different First Page or Different Odd & Even Pages as needed, then confirm the result.
How to remove page numbers in WPS without deleting them from the whole document?
- Double-click the page number area first to enter the editable state.
- After you click Delete, review the available delete ranges in the drop-down menu.
- Select This Page or another target range before confirming the removal.
