setting page numbers


Recommended Posts

I have set page numbering on a master page as per the tutorial but this forces the numbering to start on the first page (page1) of the document.

However, for a booklet the first page is the cover and I want "Page 1" to be shown INSIDE the cover, i.e. page 2 of the Affinity Publisher document.

Is there a way to force numbering to start on an inside page other that the Affinity Publisher page 1 ?

This is easily performed in Word !

Hello @petercaton,

first off, welcome to the forum.

Look into Document > Section Manager. There you can control page numbering. Also look into master pages.

This is how I would do it:

  1. Create a master page that has no page number on it and assign it to your cover page
  2. Create a second master page that has a page number field on it (e.g. at the bottom). Assign this to all other pages of your booklet.
  3. Finally open Section Manager. Create a section only for your first page. Then create a second section that starts on page two. Make sure that 'Continue page numbering' is selected in section two.
I hope this works for you.

Hopefully the Affinity Publisher 'Guide' will contain this kind of info that's currently missing ?

I'm sure there will be coming quite some video tutorials once APub is released. And there also is the built in help system.

We're just still a little early in development and sometimes have to explore the software. And that's why we are here in the forum :)
