Numbering the pages within a project

You can select to number the entire project or limit the scope to a chapter or a section. You can also include the number of pages, and customize the format and appearance. A preview is provided.

To automatically number the pages:

On the Insert ribbon, click Page Number from the Add Text group. The Add Page Number window opens.

Complete the controls on the Page Numbering Details window as follows:

Scope	Select the scope to which you want to apply the page numbering.
Include the total number of pages	Select this to include the total number of pages within project. For example, “Page 4 of 12”.
Enter or select format	Specify the text representing the page in the numbering, for example, Slide or Sheet. The default is Page. Use the second field to specify the text used between the page number and the total number of pages, for example, “-“ or “/”. The default is “of”.
Font and Color	Use the controls in this group to configure the font characteristics that you want to use for the page numbering.

Click Finish.

The program will create a text block and a series of actions at the project level in the Project Explorer. These objects are necessary for the functionality of the page numbering and should not be deleted unless you want to remove the page numbering from project. The text block and actions are automatically inherited throughout the rest of the project to display page numbering on every page.
