Adding page numbers with multiple masters


Recommended Posts

Hello,

Could someone please let me know how to add page numbers if you have several master pages? (I understand how to do it if you have one master, which affects all attached pages, but I have 6 masters, so that's 6 sections connected to a different master, and I'm just trying to get one set of page numbers across all of them).

Thank you, Noob

I assume you are using Affinity Publisher?

This post really ought to be in the Affinity on Desktop Questions forum I think, rather than here which is for Customer Service etc.  Perhaps a moderator will move it.

It doesn't matter what Master Page you use. The Page Number Field (that shows up as a #) will give you what you want. Of course, if you do have actual Sections defined, you can control the numbering individually for pages within each section using the Section Manager, but that's still not associated in any way with a specific Master Page.

Thanks, Jeff. I'll remember that for the next time.
