When adding page numbers to your word document, the page number by default will start from page 1. However, you may want to change that and start page numbering from a different number. For example, you have a very long file with different sections and you have separate it into different sections. You can start the page numbering for the second section with a number right after the first section.

Step 4: Right-click the page number on the first page of the section and select "Format Page Numbers";
Step 5: In the dialog box, type in the page number you want, e.g., 201;
Step 6: Click "OK" at the bottom.
