@Derrill: Select the page you want to be the beginning of the new section (in this case, perhaps it’s page 1) in the Pages panel, then choose Section & Numbering Options from the pages panel menu.

For my catalog, I don’t want my auto page numbering to start at 1, instead I want it to start at 3 (because the first page is the cover and the second page is the table of contents).

So, how do I start auto page numbering from a value other than 1?

I am working on a long catalog document that consists of more than 80 individual pages. The individual documents were not set up as facing pages.

Now that the individual documents are compiled and I am applying page numbers, I need the page numbers to alternate from one side of the page to the other (front of page vs. back).

Because we will add new documents to the catalog periodically, the page number placement may need to change along the way.

Currently, I have used the ‘current page number’ option and the built-in Table of Contents feature.

What are my options in solving this dilema–short of creating a new catalog and having to copy/paste/and re-format the entire catalog all over again?

Tiffany, I’m not sure what you’re asking for. You probably already know how to flow text in InDesign. Do you want something more? There are plug-ins available for making classified ads in InDesign, but I would have to track them down.

By the way, I’m using In Design CS2.

Hi, I’m having problems with my page numbers, too.
I have the document set up with page numbers on the footer, they show on master pages and on the screen. When I pdf the document to print they disappear. Do you know how I can fix this?

Benj, the book palette looks like a palette, but it’s actually a file (just like a normal document). You cannot save those, just as you can’t save which documents were open. I hope this changes in the future, as I agree it’d be helpful.

Does anyone know how to make the book pallette go back to where I put it when I close and reopen the programme? All the other pallettes stay put, but not this one. I’ve even tried saving and reloading a workspace to no avail.

(CS3 on 10.5, if that matters)

What does it mean when it says:
“Document has been modified outside of book.” and puts the little hazard signs up in the book pallet? Because I open all my docs through the pallet and save and close them before I save the book pallet. Usually repaginate clears those hazards away but this time I got a message about missing fonts when I don’t appear to have any fonts missing?? And I don’t use any font manager that activates or deactivates fonts.
