Introduction

In this episode, we'll set up the introduction pages with lowercase Roman numerals and the main content pages that start numbering again from one, using Section numbering options. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Books and reports usually have introduction pages like a preface and table of contents that are numbered with lowercase Roman numerals, followed by the main content starting from page one. InDesign handles this with sections.

Step 1: Initial numbering

Open the book file that already has automatic page numbering. Currently, the pages are numbered from 1 to 8 sequentially. Pages 2 and 3 are the preface and table of contents.

Pe jaa

Double-click page 1, then select Layout, Numbering & Section Options.

Pi nja

In the Style, choose lowercase Roman numerals, I, II, III, IV. Click OK. The page numbers now change to Roman numerals. Select page 4, the start of chapter 1, then open Numbering & Section Options again.

Step 3: Book content section

Check Start Section, choose Start Page Numbering at N1, and select the standard number style. Click OK.

Step 4: Section marker

In the Pages panel, a small triangle appears above the thumbnail of page 4, indicating the start of the section. The numbers below the thumbnail now read 2, 3, then 1, 2, 3, and so on. Double-click the page numbered 1.

Step 5: Check pages

The bottom corner displays the number 1, even though physically this is page four. The page box in the status bar also displays the section number.

Step 6: Absolute numbering

In Edit, Preferences, General, there is an option for Page Numbering View, Section Numbering, or Absolute Numbering. Absolute numbering displays the physical page order in the Pages panel, which is useful when communicating with the printer. Done.

Done!

We've created a section for the introduction with Roman numerals. Starting the main content section from page 1, recognizing the section marker, and understanding section numbering and absolute numbering. In the next episode, we'll create an automatic running header with section markers. Need a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report layout design?
