Hi, there in this video, you're going to learn how to add page numbers to your documents, so let's

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,770
get started.

3
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:21,020
Then select the a.m. as we'll be adding a text box in here so that it automatically populates and every

4
00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:27,140
page that's also grabbed the text tool and make a text box at the bottom left of the page within the

5
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:27,890
left margin.

6
00:00:28,910 --> 00:00:34,240
If you prefer to put it to the bottom right side of the page or the top, it is up to you entirely.

7
00:00:34,250 --> 00:00:37,820
Guess it's going to work irrespective of where on the page you put it.

8
00:00:39,050 --> 00:00:45,590
The first one is do right click the text box you just created and then go to insert special character

9
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:47,240
and then markers.

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,380
And under Marcus, select current page number.

11
00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:58,250
Or you can go to type menu and then insert special character and then markers and then select current

12
00:00:58,250 --> 00:00:59,630
page number from here.

13
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:06,050
And of course, using a shortcut is always a possibility, and the shortcut is option shift command

14
00:01:06,050 --> 00:01:11,240
and end on a Mac or old shift control and on ABC.

15
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,710
The moment I click on it, the letter is dropped into the text box.

16
00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:18,950
It is the letter A. Because it is a master.

17
00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:23,060
If it was B. M. The letter would change to B and so on.

18
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:25,820
So let's add the word page before it.

19
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:31,700
I think of a text box almost kissing the body, so let's drag it down just a bit.

20
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:39,290
Although on the a.m., you could see Page Eight to be the page number, but that does not mean that

21
00:01:39,290 --> 00:01:41,540
it's going to be page in every page.

22
00:01:42,020 --> 00:01:45,080
Let's click on one of the pages to verify the page number.

23
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,650
And there you could see it's Page three as we are on Page three.

24
00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:53,630
You can check other pages and you'll find everything is in perfect order.

25
00:01:54,140 --> 00:01:57,950
So adding page numbers is a very simple procedure in InDesign.

26
00:01:58,220 --> 00:02:00,020
In fact, let me show you something else.

27
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,130
Let's make another text box on the bottom right of a master.

28
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,770
Now, right click the text box and go to insert special character and then symbols.

29
00:02:10,310 --> 00:02:12,430
And you see, it's not just the page numbers.

30
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,170
There are so many other options you can choose from.

31
00:02:15,470 --> 00:02:21,410
So let's pick the copyright symbol because that's one thing we get to find a lot in official documents.

32
00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:28,160
And let's type in a Dolby in design training and also a right to lie in it, since it's on the right

33
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,090
side of the page.

34
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:35,930
And now this information will also be available in every single page of yours that has a master applied.

35
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:42,980
So you should know by now that information that's repetitive and is found in every page like copyright,

36
00:02:42,980 --> 00:02:48,410
all headers or photos or page numbers, et cetera, should be inserted into the master page.

37
00:02:48,410 --> 00:02:53,480
Unless, of course, you just have one page to deal with, then that's a different story altogether.

38
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,480
All right, guys, that's a short one.

39
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,240
So I shall see you in the next one in a moment.

40
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,110
Goodbye.
