Hello there,
So on my master page, I was able to do the page numbers on my footer, Page A of 1 so it increases based on the page. But on the right side, I'm needing to increase the number by 1 in the box. So D100, D101, D102, etc.

Just a couple of tips on overriding parent page items...
Option 1: If you want to PREVENT overrides on certain frames, select the frame, right-click, and deselect "Allow Parent Item Overrides".
Option 2: Put the parent items you do NOT want to override on a separate layer and lock it. (I would put the other parent items--the ones you want to unlock--on their own separate layer too.)
