Hi, there in this video, you're going to learn how to add page numbers to your documents, so let's
get started.
Then select the a.m. as we'll be adding a text box in here so that it automatically populates and every
page that's also grabbed the text tool and make a text box at the bottom left of the page within the
left margin.
If you prefer to put it to the bottom right side of the page or the top, it is up to you entirely.
Guess it's going to work irrespective of where on the page you put it.
The first one is do right click the text box you just created and then go to insert special character
and then markers.
And under Marcus, select current page number.
Or you can go to type menu and then insert special character and then markers and then select current
page number from here.
And of course, using a shortcut is always a possibility, and the shortcut is option shift command
and end on a Mac or old shift control and on ABC.
The moment I click on it, the letter is dropped into the text box.
It is the letter A. Because it is a master.
If it was B. M. The letter would change to B and so on.
So let's add the word page before it.
I think of a text box almost kissing the body, so let's drag it down just a bit.
Although on the a.m., you could see Page Eight to be the page number, but that does not mean that
it's going to be page in every page.
Let's click on one of the pages to verify the page number.
And there you could see it's Page three as we are on Page three.
You can check other pages and you'll find everything is in perfect order.
So adding page numbers is a very simple procedure in InDesign.
In fact, let me show you something else.
Let's make another text box on the bottom right of a master.
Now, right click the text box and go to insert special character and then symbols.
And you see, it's not just the page numbers.
There are so many other options you can choose from.
So let's pick the copyright symbol because that's one thing we get to find a lot in official documents.
And let's type in a Dolby in design training and also a right to lie in it, since it's on the right
side of the page.
And now this information will also be available in every single page of yours that has a master applied.
So you should know by now that information that's repetitive and is found in every page like copyright,
all headers or photos or page numbers, et cetera, should be inserted into the master page.
Unless, of course, you just have one page to deal with, then that's a different story altogether.
All right, guys, that's a short one.
So I shall see you in the next one in a moment.
Goodbye.
