Pagination

Hi Phillip,

You replied to SG's response with:

"Yes, I clicked on the box in the footer, got the pop-up and inserted "1". Every subsequent page is now numbered 1."

and to mine with:

"Yes, I used the pop-up. I entered a 1 in the footer, and every subsequent page is numbered 1."

Given Numbers consequent behaviour, I suspect the second reply is most accurate.

Here are the steps.

The Footer boxes shown are on Page 3 of a single section document, but the process is the same if you are working with the boxes on page 1.

• Click on the box in which you want the page number to appear.

• Click on the Insert Page Number tab to get the list of styles available..

• Click on the style you want applied to the page number, (I chose the first, which displays only the page number.)

• Done.
• Scroll to the next page, and check the content of its footer box.

Note that the process of inserting page numbers in headers or footers does not involve any use of the keyboard.

Anything you type into a header box or a footer box is treated as a fixed text string, and is repeated on every page of the section in which it was entered,

Regards,

Barry

Did you click in the box in the Footer (or Header) and get this?

You then click the 'Insert Page Number' button and enter the number. That should be carried over to subsequent pages with sequential numbering.

SG

"I insert the page number properly on page 1"

Are you using the pop up "Insert Page Number" control, or are you entering a 1 directly in the heder or footer box?

Placing a 1 in the box acts in the same manner as placing the text "This is Chapter 1" in the same box. The same text (or the same digit) is repeated on every page.

Inserting Page number places an automatic calculator in the box, which collects or calsulates a new sequential page number for each page.

Regards,

Barry
