This is what we'll create in this episode: automatic page numbers in the outer corner of each page, created once in the print page and adjusting automatically when the page changes. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Page numbers don't need to be typed manually. InDesign provides a page number marker that is placed in the print and displays the correct number on each page. Open the guide book file and double-click apparent.
On the right print page, create a small text frame below marine, in the bottom-right corner. The outer corner is the easiest position for page numbers to be seen when flipping through a book.
With the cursor inside the frame, select Type, Insert Special Character, Markers, Current Page Number, or press Alt Shift Ctrl N. A letter A appears, not a number, because we are currently in apparent. Select the letter A and then apply the folio style, Open Suns Bold 8 point in blue.
Align it to the right so the number sticks to the outer edge of the right page.
Hold Alt and drag the number frame to the bottom-left corner of the left print page to copy it. Change its alignment to left. Now both the left and right pages have numbers on the outer side.
Double-click the fourth page in the Pages panel. The bottom-left corner displays the number four, and the fifth page displays the number five. One marker in the print page results in the correct number on all pages.
Move the sixth page to the position after the second page in the Pages panel. All page numbers immediately adjust to the new order. The cover page uses print none, so it doesn't have a number.
Done. We've created a number frame in the print, inserted the current page number, formatted and aligned it, copied it to the left page, and observed the numbers adjusting automatically. In the next episode, we'll create a second print that is nested within the first print. Need a layout design for a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
