How do I create automatic page numbers in Adobe® PageMaker®?

To have Adobe® PageMaker® automatically number your pages, if the template isn’t used, place a page number marker on the Master page of the document.

Go to the Master Pages by clicking on the page icons with the L and R on them at the bottom left corner of the screen.
Using the Text tool, draw a text block in the general area for the page numbers.
On the Mac, press Command+Option+P or in Windows, Ctrl+Alt+P.
Depending on the page you are on, the page marker will show up in the text block, LM on the left page, RM on the right page.

Auto page number

This text can be formatted like any other text on your pages.
Select the Pointer tool and move the copy block into the correct position.
Click on a page icon to go to a page in your file and the actual page number will appear.
If the page icons do not have the correct page numbers on them, go to the File menu, select Document Setup and change the Starting page # field to the correct starting page number.
