How to Add Page Number in Visio?

In this article, we will determine how to add page numbers to our Visio document? The main objective of page numbers is to keep our records in order. We can go to any page number if we want to go to that number. It's simple for users and editors. Also, page numbers make our document more professional and well-prepared.

Go to the File menu.


Then a new menu will be open, as we can see. Then go to Print.


After selecting print, a print preview will be open.


Then go to the "Edit Header & Footer.

The header and footer dialogue box will be open.


As we can see, there are two options: the first one, the Header, and the second one, the Footer. And we can insert text on the header and for the Footer. And mainly, we insert page numbers at the bottom of the page. It's looking more perfect as compared to the title. Also, we can insert a page number, page name, total printed pages, current time, the current date (short), file name, file extension, and file name extension. Many options are available for adding to our document, but our preference is only page number, and we will deal with the Footer and insert page no.


There are also three options for Footer.
  1. Left
  2. Center
  3. Right
We are going to insert it at the center of the page.

This way, we can add and remove the page numbers in Visio. 

Also, we have another option, directly inserting the page numbers. First, we have to insert a text box, then drag and drop it on the right, left, or center of the page. Also, we can insert any shape and then write the page number. We can see from the attached image different results.

On the center of the page.

On the right side of the page.

On the left side of the page.


We can see a border around the rectangle; if we are uncomfortable with it, we can remove it. Select the page number box, then go to the Home tab > Shapes Styles > to select line color to no line. This method is straightforward and manual. If we have a lot of pages for our document, we can add it one after one.


In this way, we can add page numbers manually and automatically. Also, if we are facing a problem with any method, we can go with another. Inserting a page number is very important.
