automatically be update to

your Publication Page.
Adding
Page-Number
Markers to
Master Pages
• The Page-Number Marker allows you to place a marker on a Master
Page. The marker will automatically update to reflect the page
number of your Publication Page. You can place a Page-Number
Marker on a Publication Page as well, but the marker will only work on
the page you placed it on. Instead, place the marker on the Master
Page to number all the pages in your publication.
• If you have several Master pages, you will have to add a Page-
Number Marker to all the Master Pages that you want a page number
to appear. You will also have to place a marker on both the Left and
Right sides of a Facing Page Master. The Page-Number Markers
display as a letter RM on Right Master, as a LM on the Left Master,
and as a page number on the Publication Page:
To add Page-Number Markers to a Master Page:
• Go to a Master Page that requires a marker.
• Select the Text tool from the tools palette.
• Create a Text Block.
• Press the Ctrl + Alt + P key combination.
• Add a prefix (such as the word: Page) to the page number marker.
• Format the text (if necessary). To keep the position and formatting of
your prefix and markers consistent, it is best to create a Document
Master with the markers in place, and then create the rest of your
Master Pages based on the Document Master.
