Creating page numbers

To create default page numbers:

  1. In the Paper Layout view or Paper Design view, choose Insertright arrowPage Number.

  2. In the Insert Page Number dialog box, choose from the list the location for the page number.

  3. Click the desired page number format: Page Number Only or Page Number and Total Pages.

  4. (Optional) Change the default attributes of the page number text as desired.

To create customized page numbers:

  1. In the Paper Layout view or Paper Design view, click the Edit Margin button in the toolbar.   Note:   The margin area is defined by a thick black line that separates it from the body. If you create objects in the body portion of a report while displaying the margin area, you can only edit those objects when the margin is displayed.

  2. Create a field object in the margin area for each page number value you require (for example Physical Page Number, Total Physical Pages).

  3. In the field's Property Inspector, under the Field node, set the Source property to the source for the page number, and set the Visible property to No. Under the General Layout node, set the Horizontal Elasticity property to Variable.

  4. Create a boilerplate text object in the margin area, and reference the page number field(s) using &fieldname.
