Page Numbering

To add a page number onto the current page:

1. Choose the Page Number command in the Insert menu.
2. In the Page Number dialog choose a page number format and the location on the page. The page number record is composed from special symbols that are replaced with the actual page number by the program.
3. Click OK.
   

If you don't like the pre-defined location for the page number, drag page number to any location on the page with the mouse.

To change size, color and font, use controls from the Text tab of the Inspector.

It is common to use master pages for page numbers. For this, set the Place on Master Page option. The option is enabled when the current page has its own master page.

Page number inserted onto an ordinary page will be displayed only on this page. Page number inserted onto the master page will be shown on all pages that have this master.

The page number always reflects the actual position of the page in the document (even if you add, remove or reorder pages).

Note: page numbers must be added as separate objects (text boxes). Only in this case the program updates them according to the page position in the document when the page order was changed. When inserted into a text box, the page number becomes regular text. If any text box is in the editing mode, click outside it (to quit editing) before adding a page number.

Format of the Page Number

The program provides some pre-defined formats. The Format text field displays the record of the selected format. The record consists of special symbols and constant text.

Special symbols:

• #P – automatically replaced by the actual page number
• #C – automatically replaced by the actual number of pages in the document
• #a – automatically replaced by the actual page number shown in small letters
• #A – automatically replaced by the actual page number shown in capital letters

Example: the record #P of #C will be replaced in a 4-page document by "1 of 4", "2 of 4", "3 of 4" and "4 of 4". In the example, "of" is constant text.

You can add some other text. Somebody likes page numbers enclosed with braces, dashes, etc. By typing into the Format edit box "–= #P =–", you will get page numbers looking like:
–= 56 =–
