Sequential page numbering starting at page 300

Using CS3 on Vista. I want to create a 50 page document that has a sequential page number in the top corner of each page starting at 300 (like an invoice series). I can't seem to figure out the Master page set up to do that. Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks.
Gordon

It isn't entirely clear if you mean you want the numbers to be 300, 301, 302...349, or 3001, 3002, 30049.
Michael's suggestion will give you the first, and will roll the numbers over into the 400s if you add enough pages.
If you want some version of the second option, set the 300 as the section prefix and include it in the numbering, then start numbering at 1. You can add a separator character of your choice by typing it into the prefix, but if you want a space you need to use a non-breaking space or other fixed width space. If you don't know the keyboard shortcuts for those, copy one to the clipboard and paste into the field.

Let's say I have a document that is 5 pages long. Now I want to insert the page numbers, starting on page 3 with the number "3" and leaving out pages 1 and 2. How do I do that?

I just found the answer myself. I don't know how to delete my question, so I'll just write the reply to the answer - just in case somebody needs to know: Insert a section brake after the second page and then choose "Start on 3".

Use page numbers starting with 1 on the second page

I have a document in Pages 09 that I need to have a title page. This page should have no page number so the numbers start on page 2. I have managed to get rid of the page number on the first page, but Pages keeps starting the numbers from 2 on the second page. I tried to set "Start at:" to 1, but that did have no effect. Is there any solution?

From Vallauris I can't guess what but clearly, you forgot something !

Different format for page numbers on different pages

Hi guys,
Currently I'm about to finish my thesis. Pages has been a great help with everything, until now. The problem is that I want to add page numbers, but some pages should have a different numbering then others. To clarify here is my table of contents with the desired page numbers:
-Figures          i
-Tables          ii
-Acronyms     iii
-Chapter 1     1
-Chapter 2     15
-Chapter 3     27
-Appendix     iv
-Summary     v
So the stuff that is not directly main content should be numbered in roman numbers. The chapters then can have normal numbers.
I've been trying for a while to make this happen now, but without luck. Anyone know how to accomplish this? I would be very thankful.

Divide into Sections by inserting section breaks between and make the Roman numerals the first part and restart the numbering at Chapter 1:
Inspector > Layout > Section > Start at: 1 / uncheck Use previous headers and footers
To change the numbering format in the header or footer, right click on the page number and choose what you want.

Page numbers on ALL pages

I'm trying to insert page numbers on ALL pages in a document in InDesign CS4. But I can only get page numbers to the page 74? This is so annoying, and it's due on monday, and I'm running out of time. Can anybody tell me, short and easy, how I can get page numbers on every page in my document? (Besides the front page - but I know how to not get the page number there.)
Thanks!
Ingvild

Huh? Simply put, you place the page number marker in a text frame on your master page(s), and you ensure that one of those master pages is applied to all pages where you want a page number.
Is that what you've done? What is not working? Is it page 74 and higher that is a problem? Just page 74?
Does page 74 use a different master page that doesn't have the page number marker?
Or is your document corrupt? [Did you try exporting to IDML or INX and re-opening the export?]

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.

Outside in Viewer resets the page number to 1 always, even though the Word document has page numbering starting from different value.

Hi All,
I've a Word Document with page header having page number inserted.However the page numbers have been formatted to start from a value other than 1.
E.g. For a given word document, navigate to "File -> Insert -> Page number-> format page number -> start at " and set the value to say "300". Now insert page numbers, so that the page numbering of the 1st page starts from 300.
When this document is viewed using Outside-in Viewer, the page number of the 1st page always shows 1 instead of showing 300 (though this is not being reset/changed within the actual document)
I'm using Outside in 8.1.9 SDK for the same. Is there an API to set the page number correct (exactly what has been set within the original document) while viewing...
Alternatively confirm if this is a limitation within the Outside-in Viewer.
Thanks,
Badri

You're going to need to open an SR to Outside In Support, Product ID 2276.
Make sure you attach an example Word doc to the SR.

Page Numbers Starting on Second Page as Page Number 1

I'm writing essays for my AP World History class and I need a cover page that doesn't have a page number as the first page of the document. Then my essays will go in order from the second page, but the page numbers need to start as 1. I have already clicked "First page is different" in the inspector under Section, but it starts the page numbering at 2 instead of the needed one. Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks

Have you tried setting the starting page number to zero? Then the next page should be #1.
Or you can add a section break & start the numbering of the new section at 1.

Change Start page numbering to Auto Page numbering in the Numbering & Section Options using script

1. I have many documents to add into a book. After adding the documents, all file page numbers should be continued from the previous file. Now I am doing manually for all files at all time. Numbering & Section Options => Start Page Numbering at: to Automatic Page Numbering.
2. And also I need to add the Chapter number with the page number (Ex: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 … , 2/2, 2/3, 2/4 …., 3/2, 3/3, 3/4 ….). Here also I am doing manually like. Numbering & Section Options => Page Numbering => Section Prefix: 1 and Include Prefix When Numbering Pages. (The page number should start from 2).
Note: In Every chapter opening there will be a file name called S… (Ex: Ch 1: S3391.indd, Ch 2: S3392.indd, Ch 3: S3393.indd). So after every S(S3391, S3392 …) file the next file page number should starts from 1/2, 1/3. 2/2, 2/2 ….
Ex:
Chapter 1          Pages
S3391.indd
32457.indd       1/2 … 1/5
32617.indd       1/6 ….. 1/9
32217.indd       1/10 … 1/13
Chapter 2
S3392.indd
42457.indd       2/2 … 2/3
52617.indd       2/4 ….. 2/9
33217.indd       2/10 … 2/13
Could anyone give me an idea or script, please? At least for First one, could anyone suggest me ASAP.
P.S: I have some more questions regarding this, I will post that after some time...
Thanks in Advance,
Thiru

var openedDocs = app.documents;

Chapter 1, contains 10 files (Each file 6 pages)… (1/1, 1/2, … 1/60) – prefix 1
Open all 10 files of one chapter and run it....
and then for another 10 files....

Page numbering starting on second page...

I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong here. All I want to do is start my numbering from 1 on the second page, leaving the first page (title page) without a page number. I know this can be done because it is formatted this way on the screenplay template, but after searching the manual, online help, and this forum and I cannot find anything that will make this work. I've also tried "view invisible" to see how the template is formatted but I cannot get it to work on a new document. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Jynx,
Try this:
1. Start with a blank doc and turn on Show Invisibles.
2. Click on Insert > Section Break
3. In the Inspector, click on the Layout Inspector (2nd icon from left)
4. Put your cursor in the second section of the doc
5. In the Layout Inspector, click on Section tab
6. Make sure First Page is Different is checked, and Use Previous Headers & Footers is UNchecked
7. Use the option to begin your numbering where you want it to start
This work for you?

Need page numbers starting with chapter numbers.

Hello every one,
I'm in the work of making user manual with different autonumber paragraph headings.(eg.1.xyz,2.abc,......).I have applied a running head header and has to apply a footer with page number in the format paragraph heading autonumber. pagenumber.ie - 1.1,1.2,........and when second paragraph heading starts it should be 2.1,2.2,.......i tried inserting variables like <chapnum>,<section num> but its not giving the desired o/p.How i can resolve this problem?
Plz help me...

crazdobe,
If your goal is to restart the page numbering inside a single file, you are out of luck.
Restarting page numbering with the beginning of a new section seems only useful if the heading of that section start at a new page; therefore you could just split the document for every new section and then control page numbering as you like.
If I have misunderstood your requirement, please share more detail.

Can page numbering start on a left-hand page?

A question arose here yesterday regarding automatic page numbering.
Is it possible to do it so that odd numbers come on left-hand pages and even numbers on the right?
I know this is highly unusual, but can it be done?

Yes,
For Example:
Start a New Document.
Go to pages panel and turn off the check mark for "Allow Document Pages to Shuffle"
Then go to the first page in the pages panel and go to Numbering and Section Options
Set the "Start Page Numbering" to "2".
And now Page 2 is a recto, and Page 3 is a verso, Page 4 is recto and so on.
It doesn't make it easy for shuffling pages around though. But it can be done. Perhaps others have more elegant way?
I can think of a way to do it using the Book Panel - that is if this doesn't suffice?

Pages page numbering starting from not first page

Hi. I want Pages to page number starting from not first page but actually page number 12 in my doc should be numbered as page 1 while prior pages numbered i to xi
Can this be done? How? Thanks.
Michael

+Menu > Insert > Section Break+
at the bottom of where you want the numbering to start/change.
Click in the body text of the page and set how you want each sections numbering to appear in:
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers+
In the 2nd section make sure you uncheck:
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > Use previous headers & footers+

Define sections in a document
In the Pages panel, select the first page in the section you want to define.
Choose Layout > Numbering & Section Options, or choose Numbering & Section Options in the Pages panel.
If you’re changing the numbering options for any page other than the first page of the document, make sure that Start Section is selected. This option marks the selected page as the beginning of a new section.
As necessary, specify the numbering and section options (see Document numbering options), and then click OK. A section indicator icon appears above the page icon in the Pages panel, indicating the start of a new section.
To end the section, repeat the section numbering steps on the first page that follows the section.

Start Auto-Page Numbers a Few Pages In

Just like the title says.
I'm writing a long paper, and in the footer I wanna put in auto-page numbers on the third page. If I select the third page and then turn the setting on, it just starts on the first page! How do I start the numbering on the third page?
Thanks a ton!

Put in a section break at the end of the 2nd page:
+Menu > Insert > Section Break+
Then go to 3rd page:
+Inspector > Layout > Sections > Start at: 1+
