JeffreyWalther Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hi, Is there any hidden option to unhide the page numbers in the table of contents? Though my heading are all found, the page numbers are not displayed. They are missing. A bug in the beta?

walt.farrell Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 This is probably too obvious, but do your pages actually contain a text frame where you've told Publisher to insert the page numbers? -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do. I added a text frame in the master page and inserted the page number. The page numbers are displayed on the pages itslef, but are not inluded in the TOC (while the headings do).

walt.farrell Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Interesting. They work for me, so other than suggesting that you attach a copy of your .afpub file here so others can try it, I'm out of suggestions for now. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyWalther Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 There seems to be something odd if you create your own style and then use this one in the TOC. Then the numbers are not shown up. If you use the standard Heading 1 for example, it works. With own styles not.

jrkay Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I notice that if I save a publication and come out of Pub, when I go in again I find I have to reallocated the master to all the pages before the numbers show up on the pages again.

I've completed an entire camera brochure within 2h hours, while the same stuff in another crappy application took me days. Thank you!

derrickmg Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I got stuck with this too. But I am glad there is a solution. The problem is the column of tick boxes #s or should I say check boxes? It (#) has so many names Pound, hash, numbers. It really is not that obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feebee Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I also didn't find this important detail looking through all the tiny boxes etc although I watched the otherwise very helpful Tutorial video in the Learn section, it isn't mentioned there. I resolved the problem from reading this post, so perhaps this detail could be added on to the video if it is ever edited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
