Optimization Tips
For best results, consider your document type when choosing page number position. Bottom center is standard for most documents. Bottom right works well for bound documents. Consider adding prefixes like 'Page' or 'p.' for clarity. For documents with front matter (title pages, table of contents), start numbering from the main content pages.
