How to number pages

HI;
how do I number my pages on pages?  I found under the inspector, layout-section, selected section and got what looked like a way to tell it to put page numbers in but didn't work for me.  I selected start at and put the number 1 in the box.  Back to my paper and every time I tried to type the page number in at the bottom, first I got the header box and then it would only put the same number for each page.
HELP please,
Thanks,
I will stay calm!

Any text (including a number) that you place into a Header or Footer will repeat on each page.
The settings in the Inspector control the numbers applied to each page in a section, but don't cause those numbers to be displayed on the page.
To get the number onto a page, yuo need to go to the Insert menu and choose Page Number.
You'll find a more detailed explanation (and a wealth of other information about using Pages) in the Pages '09 User Guide. Page numbering is discussed in the article Adding Page Numbers and Other Changeable Values, in Chapter 5, Working with Text. Search 'page number' for related discussion.
You can download the Pages '09 User Guide via the Help menu in Pages '09.

    You need to run some code every frame under a marker that displays the current page/slide number:
    on beginSprite me
      bFound = 0
      mList = _movie.markerList
      tMarker = marker(0)
      repeat with ind = 1 to count(mList)
        if mList.getPropAt(ind) = tMarker then
          bFound = 1
          exit repeat
        end if
      end repeat
      if bFound then member("slideNumber").text = string(ind)
    end
    on exitFrame me
      go to the frame

  • How to number pages after beginning project

    how do you number "pages" after the project has been started with a pages template?

    gickster,
    Place the Text Insertion pointer (cursor) where you want the page number to go, and
    Insert > Page Number
    If you do it in a Header Field or Footer Field or Master Object, your numbers will appear on all pages in the Section.

  • How to number pages in a movie?

    Hi there,
    i would need to know how I can number the pages of a movie. I've done the following but it doesn't work, could you help me please??
    1) created a text member called "slideNumber"
    2) created a Movie Script:
    global gMarkerList
    on startMovie
      gMarkerList =  _movie.markerList
      vCount = gMarkerList.count
      repeat with ii = 1 to vCount
        ii = i + 1
       put value (ii) into member("slideNumber")
      end repeat
    end startMovie
    Whenever i run it, what i always see in member "slideNumber" is 108 (which is the total number of markers). I would like to see 1, 2, 3...and so, on each page
    Thank you.

  • How to number pages on bottom left and right corners

    Hi,
    i am creating a magazine and am trying to number the pages so the first page will have 'page 1' in the bottom left hand corner and the second will have it in the bottom right, i can get the numbering to work but they are all in the bottom left so on the opposite page the number is next to the spine (of the mag), i also need to miss out the front cover
    any help would be much appreciated
    richard

    In order to do mirrored layout elements you need to be sure that you've set up your document as facing pages. Put the page number markers on opposite corners on each page of the two-page master spread.

    how to set page number & current date in sqlplus result

    Hi,
    Use the TTITLE command. For example:
    SET     PAGESIZE     15
    TTITLE     LEFT  &_date     RIGHT  "Page:" FORMAT 999 sql.pno     SKIP 2
    SELECT     ROWNUM

    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data. If your question is based on commonly available tables, like those in the scott schema, then you don't have to post any sample data: just post the output.
    Explain how you get those results from that data.
    Always say what version of Oracle (and other relevant softward, SQL*Plus in this case) you're using.

  • How can i insert to word number pages after 6 pages but considering the pages before

    how can i insert to word number pages after 6 pages but considering the pages before.

    I assume this is Microsoft Word, and you want the first six pages to have no footer, subsequent pages to have a footer showing the page number.
    1. Insert a section break after the first six pages.
    2. Insert page numbers. This will add a footer with page numbers to both sections.
    3. Unlink the section 2 footer from the section 1 footer. [Click in the footer area, uncheck Link to Previous in the Header and Footer toolbar.]
    4. Delete the page number from the section 1 footer.
    Your document will now show page numbering on all pages starting with section 2.

  • How to insert page number on each page for Cross-Tab report?

    Hi,
    I have created a Cross-Tab in the section Report Header via Crystal Reports 11.
    Now, I want to created more Cross-Tabs, and each page has one Cross-Tab.
    So, I insert Report Headers to contain Cross-Tabs. But, the report only shows the page number at the last page.
    How to insert page number on each page?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Well, the easiest solution is to place the Cross-tab in the Report Footer, Of course, ONLY if the report contains this single object which I'm assuming is not the case.
    If you do not wish to place the cros-tab in the Report Footer, here's what you need to do:
    1) Create a formula;
    whilereadingrecords;
    2) Create a group on this formula. If the report already contains groups, move this formula to the top of the grouping list. It won't affect the other groups or records in any way.
    3) Move the Cross-tab from the Report Header to the Group Header1 and suppress Group Footer1
    4) Add the Page Number field to the Page Footer
    Let me know how this goes!

  • How to number spreads, as opposed to numbering pages?

    Can anyone help with a method to number spreads, rather than pages? I have hunted thoroughly on forums and in plug-ins, but the only thing I have found a few scripts that either don't work or don't exist any more.
    First, "why would anyone want to do that?" Answer: flashcards. I professionally publish flashcard decks. Each card needs to be numbered, but only one number per card, not two numbers, like front and back. The cards are printed 8-up, duplexed, and cut. Thus, InDesign's view of the press-ready file is that the front of the flashcards is the left side of the spread and the back of the flash cards is right side of the spread. The cards might be numbered on the face, on the back, or both (same number, both sides). A deck of playing cards is 52 cards, not 104. This is not a tough concept, but people have trouble with anything that doesn't look like a bound book ...
    Also, just as a note ... LOTS of books, like workbooks, teacher manuals, two-language books ... need to have only one side of a page consecutively numbered. I can't imagine how supposedly the best layout program on the planet is incapable of printing a deck of cards.
    Yes, there are scripts that can import a file full of blank lines, number the empty paragraphs, and pretend that these are card numbers. OK, except TOTALLY UNMAINTAINABLE. Because once you do this, it is dead. Try to insert a new card, or delete one. The numbers are all wrong and there is no way to fix that problem. You can't "re-run" any scripts, so far as I can tell. Anyone know how to fix this ?? These are academic flashcards. New editions come out every few months. Don't tell me to renumber by hand. I have decks with over 700 cards (over 1400 pages for people who insist on using pages). Isn't why we have computers?
    What is wrong with a simple variable? Even (God help us) Word has variables. Why can't I define my own variable, increment it in a one-line script, and place the value into a box on every card (every spread, actually). Why is InDesign less capable than print programs I used in 1975 that ran in BASIC on timesharing system??
    I could renumber tombstones easier. At least then, the file format wouldn't become obsolete every couple of years.
    Anyone?

    Thanks for the complement.
    My biggest problem is "maintenance," which means adding, deleting, and moving cards around. In all cases, the deck has to then be renumbered, so that a fresh printing produces a cohesive, in-order deck. Just like other textbooks, the information that used to be on page 33 in one edition now appears on page 37. The cards do not have all the same layout. I usually have about five major layouts per deck. Thus, there is no way I know of to "flow" text from a textfile into a set of templates to build an entire deck.
    Imagine that you produced textbooks, including indexes, internal references and TOC. But ... the software you used had no way to number pages. And if you decided to hand number pages in, say, Thailand, those page numbers were dead text strings and could not be used to auto-generated a TOC or Index. What would you do?

  • How to order pages to follow page number?

    Hi!
    I haven't found any thing in documentation how to order pages automatically or manually. I would like to arrange my page numbers but couldn't. Please see in attached file.
    Could you guys please me resolve this problem?

    Make yourself familiar with the concepts of "Sections" and "Imposition".
    Ask the user about their intention.
    Tell them imposition should not be done via the pages panel.

  • How to print page numbers in adobe form

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
    My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
    Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
    1st  page is the letter : no page number
    2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
    I have used the follwing java scripting:
    this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
    where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
    Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
    Thank You,
    Regards,
    Naresh.

    ? how to add page numbers in pages 5.2, starting with page 2.  Pages '09 had an option to not show folio on page one.  Also any idea how to do left and right folios for a Tabloid?  Many thanks  . . .

    Hello jacquemac,
    Your first question:
    There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
    You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
    1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
    2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
    (what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
    3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
    4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and  "Insert page number" -> start at 1
    Your second question:
    Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
    greetings jl

  • How to print page no/total pges in report programing?

    how to print page no/total pges in report programing?

    Hi
    This is an example:
    In TOP-OF-PAGE you can write:
    WRITE: SY-PAGNO, '/', '-----'.
    When the program has finished to print all data, run a routine like this:
    Declare a variable
    DATA: L_PAGE_COUNT(5) TYPE C,
          V_LINE TYPE I. "The line where page number is written
    * In my example I suppose the page number is always
    * written in the first row of the page.
    V_LINE = 1.
    *  Copy this code to the end of program
    *  Page count will be printed on each page here
      WRITE sy-pagno TO l_page_count LEFT-JUSTIFIED.
      DO sy-pagno TIMES.
        READ LINE V_LINE OF PAGE sy-index.
        REPLACE '-----' WITH l_page_count INTO sy-lisel.
        MODIFY CURRENT LINE.
        ADD 1 TO sy-index.
      ENDDO.
