Dear Interns,

This email concerns the page number formatting protocols of your internship report.
As you are aware, you are supposed to insert page numbers in the form i,ii, etc. in some areas, 1,2,3,etc.
in other areas and no page numbers in some areas.
The following document is designed to provide assistance in this matter.
Different page numbers are assigned by breaking down your word document into multiple
sections using section breaks. Section breaks help you to modify page numbering options in
each section, without affecting the numbering options in other sections.
Section breaks are inserted by using the Breaks option under Page Layout. See image below:

Before we learn how to use section breaks let us take a look at how page numbers are to be assigned to
the document. Please note the following sequence of pages for your affiliation report.
Note: As the university website has provided the Cover Page, Title Page and Letter of Endorsement in a
single word document (http://www.aiub.edu/internship-report-formats-spring-2016), you do not have
to type these pages separately again. Hence, the first page of your report will start from Letter of
Transmittal.

Now that you know the system of page numbering required, let us proceed to learn how such
numbering can be applied.
A particular section can be 1 page, for example in the case of Letter of Transmittal (no page numbering),
or 2 pages, in the case of Acknowledgements and Executive Summary ( page numbering i & ii).
An example will clarify this method.
For the first section, that is Letter of Transmittal, we know that it is a one page section.
Hence we insert a section break at the end of that page. Since we have no pages before Letter of
Transmittal, we do not need to insert any section breaks before the page.
Please refer to the Page 1, to find out how to insert a break. Before you can insert the break, please click
on the Show/Hide button. See Below.

Clicking on this button will allow you to find out the end of the page, and also to help you in the next
section.
Once you have clicked on the Show/Hide Button, your document will look like such:

This is the end of your

document

Once you click the Show/Hide button, will be able to insert the Section Break , as discussed in the first
page. Once you insert the section break, your document will look like such:

This is your section break

Once you have inserted a section, click on the Show/Hide button again to deactivate the icons.
Once you have created a section break, proceed to the immediate next page, which is the first page of
the next section.
You will need to open the header and footer. This is done by left double clicking the top of the page.
Once you double click, you will see the following:
