Trouble adding pages numbers to Master Page, Publisher

[benged123]

Still getting used to Publisher (I use Photo all the time). I'm just trying to put page numbers in a document. On the Master Page I create a text box, then click Text > Insert > Field > Page Number. But!

When I add the Field > Page Number ... the little '#' on the Master Page isn't inside the text box, it's outside – image: Page numbering 1; 

 

 

 

Which looks like this in the document: Page numbering 2; 

 

 

And of course looks like this when there are two digits: Page numbering 3.

 

 

What am I doing wrong?

All ears, Ben.

Check the formatting of the text frame or upload a simple document showing the error

Has this issue been resolved as experiencing similar issue - see below:

When applying page numbers to scratch APUB doc the application works as expected - namely create a text frame and then insert page number which results in Hash symbol contained with the text frame. Page numbers being correctly displayed on ALL pages.

 

My problem being that I cannot replicate this in a 50+ page document - having created the text frame on a master the ‘Insert Page Number Hash symbol’ places itself immediately outside the frame, further the number of characters displayed on document pages is limited to a single character thus page 10 showing figure 1 etc.

 

Note: The document has several master pages and the one to which page numbering is applied is simply a rectangular shape with infill colour used as the background for ALL pages.

Several things could cause it.

• Indents set in the Paragraph panel.
• Insets set in the Text Frame panel
• Columns set in the Text Frame panel

If that doesn't help you find it, please provide a sample .afpub document including the Master Page in question.

Thanks for advice - the reported problem now resolved - required clicking on "SYNCHRONISE DEFAULTS FROM SELECTION" on the Toolbar.

As yet not discovered how this feature is intended to work - a brief explanation would be appreciated.

Synchronize defaults?

I would start with the Help: https://affinity.help/publisher/English.lproj/pages/ObjectControl/objectDefaults.html
