      I am looking to add page numbering to a contract that has several pages and several paragraph styles.

      On the master page I am type – insert special character – markers – current page numbers it its giving me as result of 1.1 before my page number – Ie on page 2 I see 1.1 2

      Not sure why the 1.1 is there but can you help me get rid of it?

      I am sure the answer is in there somewhere but I can’t find it – the page number is working fine but I get 1.1. (1 point 1 point) on every page prior to the page number itself.

      The ‘A’ in the master page is editable but the 1.1 is not

      If you open layout > numbering & section options, do you see anything in the Prefix field of that dialog box?

      Oh, maybe you have automatic paragraph numbering applied to the text paragraph? Select the page number on the master page and then look in the Control Panel (paragraph formatting mode) to see if it has auto-numbering turned on (next to bullets).

      Thank you – the page number had a style assigned to it which I cleared by choosing ‘basic style’

      Sorted
