l Do not place the promotional image or snippet inside an absolute positioned
box. Whitespacing only works for elements that are part of the text flow, not for
absolute-positioned boxes.
3. Select the image or the element that holds the promotional content: click it, or use the
breadcrumbs, or select it on the Outline tab; see "Selecting an element" on page411.
4.
On the Attributes pane, check the option Whitespace element.
5.
(Optional.) Add extra space at the top of the element: on the menu Format, click the
option relevant to the selected element (Image for an image, Paragraph for a paragraph,
etc.) and adjust the spacing (padding and/or margins).
Do not add an empty paragraph to provide space between the whitespace element and
the variable content. The extra paragraph would be considered content and could end up
on a separate page, together with the whitespace element.
Page numbers
Inserting page numbers
Page numbers can be added to a Print section, but they are usually added to a Master Page,
because headers and footers are designed on Master Pages; see also: "Master Pages" on
page322.
To insert a page number, select Insert > Special character > Markers on the menu, and then
click one of the options to decide with what kind of page number the marker will be replaced:
l
Page number: The current page number in the document. If a page is empty or does not
display a page number, it is still added to the page count.
l
Page count: The total number of pages in the document, including pages with no
contents or without a page number.
l
Content page number: The current page number in the document, counting only pages
with contents that are supplied by the Print section. A page that has a Master Page (as set
in the Sheet Configuration dialog, see "Applying a Master Page to a page in a Print
section" on page324) but no contents, is not included in the Content page count.
l
Content page count: This is the total number of pages in the current document that have
contents, supplied by the Print section. A page that has a Master Page but no contents, is
not included in the Content page count.
