page numbers on top

B

bobzz

I am making a document in publisher. Many of my pages have full 8.5x11
images on them. When I turn on page numbers, my pictures come up ON TOP OF
THE PAGE NUMBERS. I tried right clicking the pictures and selecting
order>send to back, but that did not work. Is there any way to make the page
numbers ON TOP OF THE PICTURES without manually adding page numbers on the
pages with pictures?


cheers

Not that I know of. Since page numbers are on the master page, there is only
one occurrence of them being entered. Looks like you will have to add them
manually.

You can't have page numbers on top of the images because the page numbers are generated on the background page. You'll have to mess around with margins and move the background page number up above where your images will be on the foreground.

If you want the page numbers to actually appear over the images you'll have to do it manually...I'm thinkin'

One manual way of creating them faster would be to do a mail merge from an
Excel list (use the fill function in Excel for 1-??), create a text box on
top of the picture where you want the page number to appear, then do the
merge into those.
