Working with Pages 59
Using page numbering
Page number fields automatically display the current page number. Typically,
these fields are added automatically to the master page (so they appear on every
page) with the Header and Footers Wizard, but you can insert a page number
field anywhere in your text.
You can change the style of page numbers, create mixed page number formats,
set starting page number(s), and control number continuation across chapters
and publication sections (all via Page Number Format on the Format menu).
To define a header or footer that includes a page number field:
1. Create a header or footer on the master page by choosing Headers
and Footers... from the Insert menu.
2. In the wizard, press the Page Number button to insert a page number
field (as a prefix or suffix) along with any optional header/footer text.
3. Complete the wizard.
To insert a page number field:
1. Switch to the master page (if desired) by clicking the Current Page
box on the Hintline.
2. With the Artistic Text Tool selected (Tools toolbar), click for an
insertion point to place the page number.
3. On the Insert menu, select Page Number from the Information
flyout.
You can also specify the First Page Number in the sequence (this will appear
on the first page of the publication). For example, Chapter Two of a long
publication might be in a separate file and begin numbering with page 33.
To set the first page number:
1. Uncheck Continue from previous chapter. PagePlus keeps this
checked by default so that number continuation is maintained if your
publication is to be part of a book.
2. Enter a different First Page Number.
