Page numbers not there.

[Dawn994]

I have my master pages set up to put page numbers on all the pages of my
publication. However, after the 9th page the numbers stop. They are still set
up on Master Page A and Master Page B but they do not appear on any
subsequent page after page 9. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

Dawn,

Do you have something on top of the place where the numbers should be?

 

[Mary Sauer]

Do you have more than one Master Page?

No, there is nothing on top of where the numbers should be. Everything is
fine with the page numbers up to page 9.

Yes, there are two master pages...Page A and Page B because the formatting
has to be different to allow for page binding.

Are you applying everything from page 9 on to the different Master Page? You may
have to insert a section on page 9.

Insert section, begin section with this page, click start at 9, okay. Insert,
page numbers.

apply Master Page B to it...nothing, the date just will not appear.

No. I didnt know anything about insert section before someone here posted it.
I've even tried creating a new publication with the same artwork (copy and

something with the formatting of the #? Do I need to add an additional pound
mark (#) to the master so it will show two numbers? Can I set the page
number format to show x amount of pagess?

Dawn sent me her file and I saw what the problem was immediately. I told her
I would post the response here because it's a common mistake.

I keep my non-printing characters turned on all of the time and I could see
a ¶ after the # sign in the text box for page numbers. It should have been
that little circle with spokes. She had extra spaces and hard returns to get
the number to the bottom of the text box. Plus there were extra numbers in
that text box that couldn't be seen.

I deleted out all of the useless spaces/returns/numbers and changed the
format of the text box from "middle" to "bottom". All of the pages now have
numbers that show.

Whenever you have something funky happening, run the Design Checker. In
doing that, you can tell if you have text in the overflow area - that means
it can't be seen. If you have your non-printing characters turned on,
potential problems become a bit more obvious.

Dawn is now able to get back to work and make a whiz-bang document. Oh - and
now you need to do a good deed for someone.

mark (#) to the master so it will show two numbers? Can I set the
page
number format to show x amount of pagess?

Do you have a new section from Page 9 on?

Yes, there are two master pages...Page A and Page B because the
formatting
has to be different to allow for page binding.

:

Do you have more than one Master Page?

Dawn,

Do you have something on top of the place where the numbers
should
be?

I have my master pages set up to put page numbers on all the
pages
of
my
publication. However, after the 9th page the numbers stop.
They
are
still set
up on Master Page A and Master Page B but they do not appear
on
any
subsequent page after page 9. Does anyone know how to fix
this?

Click on the ¶ button in the toolbar.

Wouldn't the world be better if we all did an extra good deed just once a
week?

Thanks so very very much! I don't know how to turn on/off non-printing
characters. I did see the 2's that got in that box although I don't know
how
the heck they did. I try to do good deeds everyday, today I'll do an
extra-good one. Thanks Again!!!!

Dawn

Dawn sent me her file and I saw what the problem was immediately. I told
her
I would post the response here because it's a common mistake.

I keep my non-printing characters turned on all of the time and I could
see
a ¶ after the # sign in the text box for page numbers. It should have
been
that little circle with spokes. She had extra spaces and hard returns to
get
the number to the bottom of the text box. Plus there were extra numbers
in
that text box that couldn't be seen.

I deleted out all of the useless spaces/returns/numbers and changed the
format of the text box from "middle" to "bottom". All of the pages now
have
numbers that show.

Whenever you have something funky happening, run the Design Checker. In
doing that, you can tell if you have text in the overflow area - that
means
it can't be seen. If you have your non-printing characters turned on,
potential problems become a bit more obvious.

Dawn is now able to get back to work and make a whiz-bang document. Oh -
and
now you need to do a good deed for someone.

Yes, the odd pages have Master Page A applied and the even pages have
Master
Page B applied. Yet neither odd nor even have any page numbers after
page
9.

:

Double check which master page is assigned to pages 9 and up. Make
sure
it's
correct on each and every page.

yes, it is set up as a pound sign on the master.

:

Do you have your page numbers set up on the Master pages or the
regular
pages?

No. I didnt know anything about insert section before someone
here
posted
it.
I've even tried creating a new publication with the same artwork
(copy
and
paste really) and still get up to 9 pages with page numbers. Can
it
be
something with the formatting of the #? Do I need to add an
additional
pound
mark (#) to the master so it will show two numbers? Can I set
the
page
number format to show x amount of pagess?
