I want to put mirrored/facing pages numbers on my Pages doc. I've got the "Left and Right are different" box checked and everything. I want the page # to go in the green box, or away from the spine. How can I do this while still keeping "International Conference on Technology" left aligned? I can't even see how to add another text box to the footer. Help!
Thanks!
Hi Lucy,
Pages has three Footer fields—left, centre, and right on each page. The centre field aligns text to the centre of the page, the outer fields align text to their outer margin.
On a verso (left) page, hover the pointer near the footer fields and click in the field near the left margin, then click Insert page number, and choose the format you want. Repeat on the recto page, clicking again in the field nearest the outside margin.
As the fields automatically adjust to different content, you may have to remove the "International Conference on Technology" footer text, replacing it in the 'inside' field after inserting the page number.

Barry

Hi Lucy,
I agree with Peter. It looks like a document created in Pages '09 (single field in headers and footers).
In the right-hand footer, insert a tab character after 'International Conference on Technology' and then insert Page Number.
In the left-hand footer, insert Page Number to the left, then insert a tab character before 'International Conference on Technology'.

Ian.
Thanks Barry!
It seems as if maybe the the other two footer text boxes got deleted? When I’m clicking near the outer margin or spine it just recognizes the big one that’s already there.
I’m making edits to a document someone else created, so I’m not sure how it was set up at creation.
I've tried that, but when I tab over it doesn't align it on the right, it just inserts a tab.
What version number of Pages are you using?
Pages menu > About Pages
Reagrds,

Sounds like the other person set up the document in Pages '09.
it's version 7.3
With the Text selected:
Menu > View > Show Ruler > Double click on the Ruler to add a tab stop where you want it
How do I add mirrored page numbers to my pages doc?
