FAQ
Why can’t I hide the page number on the first page only?
- The Android version currently does not support the Different First Page setting.
- If the document must hide the first-page number, use WPS on desktop for more detailed page number layout.
- If you only need a temporary workaround, you can adjust the document manually before output.
Why do all page numbers disappear after I delete one page number?
- Page numbers are a unified numbering element for the whole document.
- When you delete page numbers, all page numbers in the document are removed.
- To show them again, go to Tools > Insert > Page Number and set them again.
How do I fix it if I can’t find the Page Number option?
- Make sure the file you opened is an editable document.
- Tap Tools at the bottom, then switch to the Insert tab.
- If the option still does not appear, update WPS Office and reopen the document to check again.
