Auto Page Number Change Font or Delete?

After translation from Word to Pages, the auto page number font causes the third digit of the page number to appear outside margin of header.  How can I change font or delete and put in new page number?

Usually the page numbering from Word are have objects that are not selectable. That is until you have made them selectable by going  Arrange > Make background object selectable. You might need to go Format > Advanced > Make Master object selectable  too.
Delete them and use Pages version instead, Insert > Page Number

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

  • Why is there a thick line in the page margin when I use auto page number?

    I am having a problem with an automatic line which appears in the left, in the page margin, outside the footer whenever I insert auto page numbering into a booklet. This line looks like a thick "l" and is on the left of each page despite the numbers being on the 'outside' (alternate sides) of each page.
    The line only disappears when the numbers are removed. I cannot highlight/edit the line and they show up as short thick marks, the height of the font on each numbered page when the document is printed.
    Does anyone know how I can get rid of them?

    Thank you, fruhulda.
    Actually that is what I am doing as a workaround. It works but it requires me to make an unnecessary extra copy of the document. And after doing that, I sometimes carelessly keep working on the copy instead of the original, which results in untracked modifications. So I hope there should be a way to just hide the lines.
    If there's no option to hide them, I think this is a bug of "View Final" mode, in which the document should be viewed in the "final" form.

  • Auto Page Number Disappears

    I'm using the "Page n of m" custom library object on one of my forms. After saving the form in Designer, I open it up in Acrobat 7.0 Pro or Reader 7.0. The page numbers are displayed as expected.
    After inputting information in and on exit from any field on the form, the page numbers disappear. The only way the page numbers reappear is if a dynamic field causes the document to repaginate.
    Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it so that the page numbers are always visible? I've tried it on several documents and it always does the same thing. Very frustrating!

    I use the same program version and I don't have this problems.
    I have the auto page numbers on the format page.
    If this doesn't work, maybe you can try to change the page numbers initialization at the event initialize, or put it on the calculate event.
    I don't know if this can help you! I hope so!

  • Indicating page number changes

    I have done it before but can't remember how. Could someone remind me of what it is called or how do you do the following:
    Place a number of questions on various pages  and have answers on pageX. Somehow no matter if the answers page changes it still shows the correct page of pageX. Hope I have explained the problem correctly.

    Ah! That's it. Thanks Salah

  • I am trying to change the page number format in a section of my document.  I want 2 sections to have 2 different page number formats.  How can I do this?

    I have 2 sections in my Pages document.  I am using Insert Auto Pages in footers to number my pages, but when I try to change the number format for one section it changes the format to the same as my change for the other section.  I want auto page number in each section but want each section's page numbers to have different formats. I have managed to get the auto page numbering to begin separately in each section, but just can't get the formats to be different.  There must be a way to do this.  Anyone know how?

  • Cross-reference auto-page numers?

    Can anyone tell me why i cannot get cross-references to work with  automatic page numbering?  Is there some fundamental error i am  making?  I have the master files setup with auto-page numbering based on  'current page.'  All of my pages are numbered sequentially as 1, 2, 3,  etc. and setup with a unique paragraph style.  however, when i try to  reference a page number in the document, none of the pages show up under  the paragraph style in the cross-reference menu.  I have even tried to  use ctrl+shft+click on the desired reference page to bring the page number frame  from the master file onto that specific page, but the text still does  not show up in the cross-references menu.  I feel as though i must be  making some sort of mistake because it seems this could be one of the  more obvious/widespread uses for the cross-reference feature.  Any help  would be great.  Perhaps there is simply another way to do  this?  Thanks!

    Peter,
    I understand that this is probably a more specific use of the feature, no doubt.  It is ultimately unrealistic to expect a program to work exactly as each individual user's project approach dictates.  I dont take the comment as a slam, dont fret.
    My confusion and concern ultimately stems from the fact that, on the surface (granted, I am definitely not a programmer ), it seems like the ability to directly reference the page number would be, almost inherently, already built-in in the sense that the page number is recognized as a product of content placement.  In other words, if the cross-reference knows that changes to the document composition have caused my referenced content to move from auto-numbered page 36 to auto-numbered page 37, yet the reference cannot exist to simply the page number itself.  It has to exist via the content on taht page.  Hopefully I have provided and explanation which makes sense!
    In all honesty, the ability to reference only content and not also page number is only goingot set me back about half.  For my sake, I have a 300 page document which includes hundreds of figures/illustrations, all of which correspond to text explanations in a different part of the document.  Over time, it is anticipated that standards and graphics will be added/subtracted/changed, and therefore, so will the section numbering, page numbering, figure numbering, and the corresponding pages on which all of these pieces of info will occur.  We would like to correspond figures and sections to one number; in this case, the page.  Because each figure/illustration will have it's own page, it is desired to make the figure number and page number match to achieve an easier means of navigating the book.  Basically, I want the text section, which will be read first, to reference figure numbers and/or page numbers (at this point, i have the option of choosing one or the other), but both of these numbers are going to dynamically update.
    So, if that made any sense at all (ha), is there a way to use the cross references to point at a number that is set to automatically/dynamically change?  If there is not, then perhaps I will simply have to create static figure numbers for the referenced content and then just let the page numbers change over time.  If you have any other suggestions, I am definitely open to exploring them!
    Thanks for the continued help!

    Hi, Garrett:
    If I understand your description correctly, it seems that you're asking for an unusual numbering/navigation approach. Is there an example that you've seen that works this way, and that you want to emulate? Is this a publishing style/convention in the particular industry?
    Am I correct in imagining that in a document that contains three figures on discontiguous pages, they might be numbered something like this:
    Page #
    Figure #
    1
    1
    15
    15
    250
    250
    This would result in no figures 2, 3...14...249. Would your document have references to figure 15 on page 15? Would you want your list of figures (LOF) to resemble:
    Figure  number and title                                                     Page     
       1.  Example of the widget in question .............................    1
    15.  Example of another widget .........................................  15
    (sorry about the messy table layout - the HTML is tricky)
    Would your audience be concerned that the figure numbers are not consecutive across a multi-chapter book, or consecutive within a chapter, and restart in each chapter? That is, would a reader think that some figures are missing?
    Is there a specific objection to figure 11 on page 26 becoming figure 11 on page 28, if text content were inserted, or becoming figure 16 on page 29 if figures were inserted? When numbered-list paragraph styles and cross-reference formats are set up properly, cross-references to these figures would update to indicate both the correct number and correct page.
    Have I misunderstood something?
    [EDIT]
    I forgot to ask if your document will be using cross-references interactively in a PDF or other multimedia format. If so, can you give more detail on your expectations?
    Have you looked into InDesign hyperlinks? They can refer to a page number - either "sticking" to the designated page no matter if its page number changes because of reflow or being moved, or "sticking" to whatever happens to become the "n-th" page if the original page is relocated. Search Help for Create a hyperlink to a page.

  • Change font in "Reflection black"?

    Hi;
    I'm using the "Reflection black" theme, but want to change the font for the title and the buttons. I've figured out how to do it, so I'm not looking for directions on HOW to do it -- I'm having a different problem.
    I can change the font for both the title and the menu buttons, but if I save the changes and then click on the "Chapters" pages to work on those, when I come back to the Menu page, it's reverted to the original font and size for both the movie title and the button text.
    This happens every time -- it won't maintain the font changes I've made in the theme. (I'm trying to change the font to Georgia, if that makes a difference, and it changes it back to Baskerville.)
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    No, I haven't added any fonts to this computer. I can't explain it ... the menu buttons and title on the main page just don't stay in Georgia when I put them there.
    Humor me, and let me make sure you're doing the same thing I'm doing: in Reflection Black, click on the "Main" page in the submenu, and change the fonts on the title and the buttons to Georgia. I'm also changing the button color to red.
    Save this.
    Click below "Main" to the "Chapters" page. Change fonts here to Georgia also.
    Save this.
    Click back to "Main" -- for me, the font has changed back to Baskerville for both the title and the menu buttons on the translucent white "sheet", and the color for the dot by the buttons has gone back to yellow.
    (Actually, this time the font stayed the same, but went back to the original SIZE, which was 60 pt font, when I'd changed it to a 36 pt font.)
    (A quick edit to reflect that while the font did stay the same, though jumping to a 60 pt font, clicking on it reveals that the font menu THINKS it's Baskerville at 60 pt, even though it's actually Georgia at 60!)

  • Make hyperlink work properly even when page numbers change?

    Is there any way to make a hyperlink to a page in an InDesign CS5.5 doc continue to work even if you move it or add pages, so you don’t have redo the link if the page number changes?  I checked help, but it didn’t help.

    I don't do Hyperlinks, but waht you are describing sounds more like the closely related Cross-Reference, and those should update automatically with pagination changes and editing. I would have thought that a hyperlink would do the same. Try this: Remove minor corruption by exporting

  • Long Documents-page numbering that moves if page position changes

    Is there a way to mark a selection of text, i.e.
    (See map on page 126.)
    so that if the page that it is on, say it moves to page 127, the page number changes?
    Also, what would it be called, in order to search for it in documentation, and for future reference?

    Thank you!
    I noticed in the sidebar “More Like This” that someone had addressed something that seemed similar in “set marker in book docs and refer to current page number of marker” and they referred to the top page below, but I was reviewing the bottom link on Cross References:

  • Changing page number sizes

    I need to change the font size of the page numbers in my 300+ page document in the CS4 version of Indesign. The page numbers were created automatically, but without the use of a master text frame (it was started in the CS3 version, which I understand doesn't have that feature). Is there a way to automatically change the font size of all the page numbers at once? This would be preferable to going through and editing them manually.

    SadieDanells wrote:
    Even in the original master (titled A)  I can't select the number marker. I can only select the 'A' that sits in place where the number would be on a regular page, and changing that doesn't affect the other numbers in the document even if I try to 'apply master to pages'.
    Sadie, here's the way it works. If you start with one master page Called A-Master, make a text frame and place an automatic page number placeholder in it, it will look like the letter A on the master page, and will be replaced by the page number on the document page. You can't select or change the number on the document page unless you detach the text frame from the master page on the document page by clicking on it while holding shift and command. Once detached from the master, the text frame will act the same as if you had created it on the document page, so things like moving or changing the placeholder on the master page will no longer update on that document page.
    If you make another master page called B-Master and base it on A-Master, the existing page number marker on the B-Master will also read as A since it is a copy of what was on the A-Master. If you made a second marker on the B-Master, it would have a B instead of an A. If you were to detach the copy of the text frame on the B-Master from the A-Master, it will change from an A to a B, and you will be able to edit it, but just like the link from the master page to the detached document page, the link from the A-Master to the B-Master will be broken, so updating the A-Master will no longer update on the B-Master.
    So, to do what you want, you can either change the placeholder on the A-Master and it will change there, on any masters that were based on A, and on all document pages that were based on A or the masters based on A. If you don't want to do that, detach the text frame on the B-Master and it will update on all of the document pages based on B-Master, but all those based on A-Master will remain the same.
    Does that help, or did I give you too much info?

  • Bizarre bug - Letter "A" superimposed over auto page numbers, but only in one font

    I originally saw this on a document upgraded from Pages '09, but I can reproduce it in new documents as well. When using the font Adobe Caslon Pro, Pages superimposes a capital letter "A" over the automatic page number insert.
    Typing other numbers is fine, it's only Pages's automatic page number feature.
    It happens regardless of style: bold, italic, underline, etc.
    It happens on all pages, not just the first one.
    As far as I can tell, it only happens with Adobe Caslon Pro. I haven't tested every last font I have, but every other one I've tried has not had this issue.
    Any ideas on how to proceed? How to check to see if it's a Pages problem or a problem with the font? I really like this font for the document I'm using and am not keen on changing it, or making the page number a different font from the rest of the document. I've attached an image so you can see the bug in action.

    You haven't said, but we presume this is happening in Pages 5 in Mavericks?
    Yes, sorry! Pages 5.1, Mac OS X 10.9.1.
    Have you tested it in Pages '09 in Mavericks?
    Something's wrong with my copy of Pages '09, it can't seem to open any documents (just says "The document _____ could not be opened" every time.). That's why I'm moving over to the new version.
    Is your Adobe Caslon Pro an otf font?
    It is, yes.
    Is this happening with all variants of Adobe Caslon Pro or only one style?
    Every variant.

  • HOW CAN I CHANGE FONT STYLE IN INDEX PAGE FOR IBA?

    Hi
    Is it possible to change the font style in INDEX page for iBA?
    Naidu

    NO. In the index page. I figured out that we can change the space and text formate.
    I am preparing a bokk with 1 chapter and 13 section.
    SO, in the index page it is showing like 1.1, 1.2.......1.10, 1.11 so on; on the left hand side and page numbers on the right hand side.
    Can i take out the numbers on the left and have only the section name and page number?
    If so how?
