inkster Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Hi all, I want to create 100 pages that contain the same page content. I also want page numbers on them. So I have master A with page number on bottom R, master B with page number on bottom L. I also have master C with the content that will appear on all the pages. I can duplicate the first page, then while holding Alt key drag master C onto the page thumbnail (to add the master instead of replace the existing master)... But, to do this for 100 pages, is there a faster way to do this?? Also, I notice that if I am on no facing page setting, that duplicate a page with say master A, that this next page also has master A, which means the page number will be on the wrong side of the page. I can go to facing page setting, and then duplicate 2 pages to ensure that A and B alternate. But still, is there a way to duplicate the 2 pages 50 times in 1 click? Thank you!

laurent32 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 You might first create your 100 pages with the first master : Then you could select all the pages created and apply the second master : Quote MacBook Pro 16 pouces (3456 × 2234), 2021 / Apple M1 Pro / 16 Go / macOS Ventura Version 13.4.1 (22F82) + 31,5 pouces (2560 × 1440) + 27 pouces (1080 × 1920) + iPad (8th generation) / iPadOS 17.2 + Apple Pencil + … Macmini6,2 Quad-Core Intel Core i7 16 Go / macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 (19H2026) MacBookAir6,2 Intel Core i5 double cœur 4 Go / macOS Big Sur version 11.7.7 (20G1345) Licence Universelle Affinity V2 updated to 2.3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent32 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I read a little too fast… At the beginning you have to have a master that has 2 pages (left and right) for the page numbers… And then you should have a second master (for your content)… Beware when you apply the second master (all) : untick the "remplacer existant"… Quote MacBook Pro 16 pouces (3456 × 2234), 2021 / Apple M1 Pro / 16 Go / macOS Ventura Version 13.4.1 (22F82) + 31,5 pouces (2560 × 1440) + 27 pouces (1080 × 1920) + iPad (8th generation) / iPadOS 17.2 + Apple Pencil + … Macmini6,2 Quad-Core Intel Core i7 16 Go / macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 (19H2026) MacBookAir6,2 Intel Core i5 double cœur 4 Go / macOS Big Sur version 11.7.7 (20G1345) Licence Universelle Affinity V2 updated to 2.3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Re page numbering you can have a Master A set as facing pages, so you effectively have a single Master Page with two pages, then all you need is the Master B Sample layout.afpub Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.4.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

inkster Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Thank you so much all, The secret to this as mentioned above in your replies is to create a master with 2 pages - didnt realise I could do that! I set the content and page numbers to this master, then added x number of pages with this as the master. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
