jmwellborn Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The glyphs are nice, but the process to correctly use master pages to number document pages still has to be the same as before. If working with facing master pages, one still has to enter a page marker (glyph) on the left master page, then copy it and drag the copy over to the right master page in order to get the correct numbering sequence for document pages. If you simply put glyphs where they belong on each of the facing master pages, you get the first and second document pages both numbered as page 2. 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.

walt.farrell Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Interesting. It seems to work as I'd expect on Windows, for what it's worth. I created a 5 page document with facing pages, and one Master. I created a Text Frame for the page number on the left Master, and created another on the right Master. All pages had proper numbers assigned. pagenumbering.afpub -- 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...

However I do find that the same glyph being used for all three flavours of page number is quite confusing. But they are not working on my MAC Sierra v. 10.12.6. Whether I start with the left facing master page (as the tutorial shows) and using the text tool place the numbering glyph, or start on the right facing master page and place the numbering glyph, if I place them independently they produce the result I have included in the screenshot. The Page thumbnails show the numbering correctly, but the actual pages do not. Pages 3 and 3 (shown in thumbnail as 2,3) are followed by pages 5 and 5 (shown in the thumbnail as 4,5). However, if I use the method shown in the original tutorial, and place the glyph on one facing master page, and then either copy and drag or copy and paste it to the other facing master page, the numbering works correctly. I had hoped that there might be a simpler way. Anyway, knowing that it doesn't work the way I might like it, I am perfectly happy with working with it the way it wants to. In the scheme of things, it is a very slight detail!! P.S. The screen shot does not show that the thumbnail for Pages 2,3 is highlighted. 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.

Pebowski Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 It also works fine here on Mac. I create a textbook on the left master page, then Text - Insert - Fields - Page Number Then I do the same procedure for the right page - and the result is how it should be- How is your workflow?

Travis V Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi Walt, Yes the Text Box is active. I'm running OS X 13.6 and Affinity Publisher 1.7.0.206. It does appear that Serif have changed something because there is the extra "Fields" step to take. Their tutorial does not show this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis V Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi again, I just redid the whole document layout again and now it works. I think my mistake was using the move tool to activate the text box instead of leaving it activated by the Frame Text Tool. Maybe this will help someone else.
