In Microsoft Excel documents, page numbers can be put on the headers and footers of sheets. The numbers can only be seen after printing or in markup mode. Pages are numbered starting from one by default, but the first page number, as well as the order of the numbering itself, can be changed. You can use the Page Setup dialog box to add numbers to your pages, or you can do it in markup mode.
