Walda57 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Creating larger documents needs to place a page number on each page. Often, especially in technical documentations, it's also needed to insert the total number of pages of the document, as well (page 5 of 50, e.g.). For the first you can insert a field with "page number", that works well. But in the latter case there's no field given. The other fields "next / previous frame page number do not deliver the correct result. How to do this? You can wait until the end and insert the real number on the master pages. But that's not the way. Any addition of a page leads to a lot of changes needed. So, who can give advice how to automate this, too? If not given: Affinity, when will you be able to offer this feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babelfisch Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Do you look for this? Fields panel → Document Sections → Run Last Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 ...or Fields -> Document Statistics -> Total Pages. All you need to do is double-click the name of the field to add it to the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walda57 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Many thanks to both, Babelfisch and GarryP: it works. I work a lot with QuarkXpress, where the metadata are set differently and didn't find them here. So thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
