Reply To: Overriding auto page numering, can it be done ?

Hi David, thank you for your response. It may be I’m not explaining myself clearly but it almost seems like a glitch. I did indeed use Insert Special Characters > Marker > Current page number …. on the master page. Then after I have created a few pages from that master… i unlink the pages from that master. when i then move a page in the page layout window, the number held on the page changes accordingly, even though it has supposedly been unlinked. the very odd part is that within the Page layout pallete it doesnt show that it has changed. i.e the number on the page in the page pallete shows the auto number has not changed but when you then go to that page, it has in fact changed.

I am not aware of an ‘auto page number’ character you can type to do a similar thing. I remember it for quark.. not for ID ?

Is there a way i can upload a file for you to look at ?

ps. i should add I’m not a newbie (20 years graphic and DTP exp) strangely this is the first time I have come across this issue.

thanks
