paginating
Numbering the pages
Paginating is the process of dividing content into discrete pages, whether in print or digital formats.
When you paginate a document, you assign page numbers and determine where breaks occur between pages.
The term applies both to preparing physical books for printing and to displaying data in chunks on websites or apps: The search results are paginating slowly or I spent the afternoon paginating the manuscript before sending it to the printer.
