page numbering, multiple sections & masters

[Twila]

I have a book with 260 total pages, 32 sections using Masters A, B, and C. Pages 1-240 use Masters A & B in portrait orientation (all pages numbering correctly). I made the remaining pages using Master C with landscape orientation as a totally separate document as they are charts which I wish to place as an Appendix. I have set up Master C with page numbering to begin at 242, starting on pg. 1 of that section.

The problem is: it repeats 242 on all subsequent pages (should be pp. 242-256, starting on p. 249 of the Publisher). What must I do differently?

Thanks, Twila

 

P.S. As you can see, there are two failed attempts to upload a file showing my master as I had it setup.

I'm not sure what you mean by setting up a Master to begin numbering at a particular page. You set the numbers in the Section Manager; all the Master Page would have is the "Page Number" Field via Text > Insert > Fields > Page Number. If you actually put "242" on your Master that would be static text, and would repeat on all the pages you apply the Master to.

Aha! That was what I was doing wrong! Thanks so much for the correction.  😊
