Note
Format Them! To change font, size, or color for page numbers, select the page number in the header or footer area, and apply any formatting from the Home tab, such as making the numbers bold or red. To change the number style, click the Page Number drop-down menu on the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, and then click Format Page Number. This opens a dialog box where you can specify other styles, such as Roman numerals.
