Page Number inserting after Text Frame and can't put cursor in Text Frame


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm using Publisher I've added a Text Frame to a Master Page and from the menu have chosen Text-->Insert-->Fields-->Page Number . For whatever reason I cannot actually write anything within the Text Frame and when I enter a number or any text, aka Page Publisher is putting the text outside of the frame and writing downwards. I took a screen snippet to explain it better.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and/or how to fix this so I can write my page number into the Text Frame like 'Page #' ?

Look in the Text Frame panel (View > Studio > Text Frame) and check the column width setting, and the left-indent setting.

That was the solution. I set them all to zero and the cursor appeared in the top left corner. The times it was staring me in the face and I didn't equate it with smaller Text Frame.

Thanks for this.
