Bates Numbering

Use Bates numbering to uniquely identify each page by assigning page numbers that are automatically incremented. When adding Bates numbering, each page is assigned a unique number or combination of numbers and letters. Bates numbers can include an alphanumeric prefix or suffix, and also be combined with other header and footer text.
