namron006 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Having difficulty setting page numbers in Publisher. Have followed the instructions and have # in both type boxes in the spread Master page. No page numbers appear in the pages which I have loaded (96) and I am at a loss as to how to solve this problem. I have section manager and filled in the appropriate numbers. I want the page numbers to start on page 3 ( as page 1) Is there anyone who has a solution? Thanks Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Do you have a # in the boxes on the Master Page, or do you have the Field "Page Number" (which would look like a # if you haven't told Publisher to highlight fields)?

Thanks Norm As Walt said, did you use the # or the Text > Insert > Fields > Page Numbers and these should go on the master Pages. You can change the numbering style in the section manager. If you want no Page Numbers on a particular page you can use a blank Master Page (or one with no Page Number field but having other elements on it) Page No Demo.afpub Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

namron006 Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hi again, Yes, I understand the procedure which I followed. However the page # are located on the master page text boxes. So far so good. When I go to look at the pages, there are no page numbers appearing on the pages of the document. Am I missing a step that should activate the page numbering? Opinions? Sorry to keep this topic going but I don't seem to be able to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Are there any other things over top of the master page? Do have the Master Page applied to the Pages, and are the Pages and Master Pages the same size? Could you post the document here?

namron006 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 nothing over the master pages and all are the same size. I had Master page B and c which I deleted. The pages are the same size. I had deleted both the type boxes and did the procedure again. Still no luck. I must be missing something pretty basic. Not sure how to post the document. I also went to master pages> apply to all pages. Nothing. norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Your screenshot shows just plain white to me. Do you have the text frames large enough for the assigned font size?

namron006 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Good idea, I just went to my master pages and made the type box larger (just in case) and made sure the point size was 9. Checked the pages and nothing. Didn't add a screen shot, whole screen? Thanks norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by this? – Can't you see the blank JPG you posted above? ("EAAMPLEUBLISHERSPREAD_29.jpg") You could simply upload the .afpub document. Containing the related master + 1 document page would be sufficient. Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
