page numbering, multiple sections & masters


Recommended Posts

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.
