How do I put page numbers in TOC to left of sections?

This is how the actual Pages manual does its toc, yet within the manual, the page numbers always appear to the right of the text.  I thought this format might solve another toc layout problem I have.  I'm cleaning up a book of poems written by a friend.  Every poem has a number (and is on a new page) but only a few of the poems have a title.  This means that if I tab between number and title, where this exists, the entry goes off the line, see number X  (not my choice to use Roman numerals!):
So, I thought if the page numbers were to the left, I could format the style so where there was a title (like Au suivant) this could be properly aligned.

fruhulda was amazingly helpful, worked beyond the call of duty on my document, and provided me with the essential idea , that I needed two styles for the poem heading line, one when there was just a number and the other when there was a number and title.
I still wouldnt mind knowing for the future how one can put the page numbers to the left in the TOC.
And for the record, dont do what I have just done: workin Pages (as I dont have word), and then export and send to the friend using Word.  I have discovered the hard way that my Page styles did not export to Word!

  • How do I put page number at the center of the bottom of page one and the rest of the page numbers at top right corner?

    How do I put page number at the center of the bottom of page one and the rest of the page numbers at top right corner?

    Put a section break at the bottom of page 1
    Then insert your page number in the footer of page 1.
    Go to page 2 and click in the body of the text;
    Inspector > Layout > Section > uncheck Use Previous Headers & Footers > click in Header on page > insert > Page Number

  • How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

    How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

    Click at bottom of the first page:
    Menu > Insert > Section break
    Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
    Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
    Click into the header or footer of the second page:
    Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
    If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
    If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

  • How do I add page numbers on a Pages doc.?

    How do I add page numbers on a pages doc.?

    It won't work in Layout mode documents but in Word Processor documents:
    1. Add a Textbox and move it to the top right, turn off Textwrap
    2. Insert a page number in the box
    3. Select the Textbox: Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Move Objects to Section Master/Make Master Objects Selectable
    4. Insert a Section Break on each page. It has to be a Section break otherwise editing the Master Objects will repeat on previous pages.

  • How do I add page numbers to a document in Pages 5.2

    How do I add page numbers  to a document in Pages 5.2?   I'm sure there's some way to do this but it's less obvious than in the previous version of Pages.

    Click on one of the Header or Footer fields and you will get a pop-up asking if you want to add page numbers, and a choice of formats.
    You also may use Insert > Page Number.

  • How do I show page numbers in my TOC as A-1, A-2 etc for my one Appendix

    My manual has only one Appendix. I have my pages numbered as A-1, A-2, A-3 etc. (A for Appendix). I cannot figure out how to get A-1, A-2, A-3 etc. to show up in my table of contents without doing it manually. How do I set up my paragraph designer? The only way I can figure it out is by calling my title Appendix A. But since I won't have an appendix B, C etc., I want to name it simply Appendix. Any help would be appreciated

    Arnis,
    When I put A:Appendix <$chapnum> in the numbering dialog, my appendix title reads: Appendix 9 (Chapter 9 is the last chapter in my book).
    Can you please tell me where I set the Chapter number building block value to Alphabetics. All of the pages in my chapters have the format chapternumber-pagenumber. Thanks, Sally

  • Pages: page numbers in TOC don't match document

    I originally created this document in Word.  I then converted it to Pages.  I had gotten most of the bugs out, then updated Pages just a week or so ago.  When I opened the document in the new version of Pages, the pagination was out of whack.  I got the pagination in the body of the text corrected except for one thing.  In this doc, I have used roman numerals in the front matter, then in the body, I have used 1, 2, 3, etc.  Well, in the TOC, the title of the first section correctly shows as on page 1, but the title of the first chapter is shown as starting on page ii (whereas in the text, it actually would read "2"), similarly, the first subsection in the text is on page 2 (correctly labeled in the text), but in the TOC it reads "ii".  The TOC incorrectly shows roman numerals for all of the subsections in chapter 1, except the second to last one, which correctly reads "13".  The TOC also shows chapter 2 starting on "xvi" whereas in the text it is actually "16".  Then, starting on page 17, to the end of the TOC, all of the numbers are correct.  How do I get Pages to correct the TOC to replace the roman numerals with the standard numerals?  I want to emphasize that the numerals are correct in the body of the text, they are only incorrect in the TOC.  I also want to emphasize again that this problem developed only after I made the most recent update to Pages 5.0 and Mavericks 10.9. 

    Peter,
    Interesting suggestion.  I actually had a major complaint with Pages 5.  In Pages '09 you could activate a search function to the left of the document, that would allow searching for any term, and would identify and list all of the instances in the document.  This is a tremendous time-saver when editing a large document (in my case, a book) where one needs internal consistency.  I don't understand why they would remove that feature and leave us with only a tiny search box that goes through instances one by one. 
    From what I read in your forum, it looks like I might lose some formatting again if I return the document to Pages '09.  But, if there is no alternative, that's what I'll do. 
    Not sure how to archive Pages 5.
