How to Add Page Numbers to a Document
In order to add page numbers to your documents follow these steps:
- Select Master pages from the View menu.
- Click in the header or footer of the page, depending on where you
want the page number to be.
- Select Variable from the Special menu. Then
select the Current Page # variable and click on
Insert. You will see a # sign on the master page.
- Format the paragraph as needed to place the number in the correct
location (Format->Paragraph and change the value of
alignment)
- Select Body Pages from the View menu. The pages
should all update automatically.
NOTE: If there is no header or footer on the master
page you will have to create your own. To do this, click the mouse on
the triangle in the upper right hand corner. This will bring
up the graphics tools. Select the tool that looks like a page in a
book (a rectangle with lines drawn across it). Now place this text
frame on the page in the location where you want the page number to
be, and then follow steps 2-5 above.
