Dimmed types are not available because either:
• that part type already exists (only subsummary parts can exist more than once on a
layout)
• the part you're changing is not in the right place on the layout (for example, a title
header must be at the top of the layout)
4. Click OK, then click Done.

Defining page breaks and numbering
You can set options for page breaks and page numbering when you add a layout part or change a
part definition.
Note Usually, pagination settings are associated with subsummary parts, but you can set page
break options for any part on the layout (except headers and footers).
For information about creating a new part, see Adding a layout part.
To define page breaks and page numbering for a part:
1. In Layout mode, choose Layouts menu > Part Setup.
2. In the Part Setup dialog box, select the part, then click Change.
You can also double-click the part label on the layout.
3. In the Part Definition dialog box, specify pagination options.
The following table describes the pagination options that are available. Dimmed options are not
available for the selected part type.
