English term or phrase: on page nnn
In technical manuals, we do cross references to headings. For example:

See "heading 2" on page 31.

Or

See "heading 2" on page 266.

Is the word "page" translated differently for different numbers? (Or otherwise?)

Thanks
jim

Explanation:
I've seen both the katakana version (by far the most common) and the kanji version of page in manuals and other technical documents; however, there doesn't seem to be a definitive guide for usage of the katakana vs the kanji.
