Adding page numbers to documents
By default, a document does not print page numbers. You can add them anywhere in the document, using auto text codes (that is, variables), although page numbers are typically placed in the Page Header or Page Footer sections.
You can also add a code for the total number of pages in the document. Use this to create a description such as Page 1 of 12.
To add page numbers
-
Open the document in the Document Editor. How?
-
Expand the section where you want the page number, by clicking the plus sign next to the section name.
-
On the Insert menu, point to Auto Text, and then select Page Number. The text field is inserted at the top left corner of the selected section, but you can reposition it.
-
You can add the total number of pages in the document:
-
On the Insert menu, point to Auto Text, and then select Total Pages. The text field is inserted at the top left corner of the selected section, but you can reposition it.
-
Tip: To print a label like "Page 1 of 8",
-
Click Text on the toolbar.
-
In the section you expanded, click where you want the label. A blank text field is inserted.
-
In the text field, type Page, followed by a space.
-
On the Insert menu, point to Auto Text, and then select Page Number.
-
Type a space, then of, then another space.
-
On the Insert menu, point to Auto Text, and then select Total Pages.
-
Click anywhere outside of the text field to stop editing it.
You can also manually type the auto text codes:
-
Click Text on the toolbar.
-
In the section you expanded, click where you want the page number. The new text field is inserted.
-
Type any text and/or codes in the text field.
-
The code for page number is {&PAGE}.
-
The code for the total number of pages in the document is {&NPAGES}.
Codes must be within braces, that is, { }. For a more detailed description of adding an auto text code, a list of all the auto text codes, see Adding auto text codes to documents.
