How to include a custom text in page numbers?

Question

I'd like to realise page numbers like "Type 1 Page 1" and "Type 1 Page 2" and so on in my document. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Manupulate page numbers (and header-footer in general) with fancyhdr.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum} % just to get some text
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
%\lhead{} % I have added all possibilities to add
%\chead{} %  text to header and footer but commented them out
%\rhead{} %   uncomment and try
%\lfoot{}
\cfoot{Type 1 Page \thepage}
%\rfoot{}

\begin{document}
\lipsum
\end{document}

See the fancyhdr documentation for details

Answer 2

If you are using \documentclass{article} at the head of your file this should happen automatically, otherwise you can use \setcounter{page}{number} to manually begin adding numbers where if you put it on the first page you will want to change {number} to {1}.
