I inherited an Indesign document with facing page layout and only one parent page A. The page numbers are centered at the bottom of the page. The client now wants the page numbers located on the left and right hand corners of the page. How to I get to this without wrecking the layout?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Mike

Simply type 2:

But you don't have to for page numbers - just align them away from the spine and it works.

They don't want to change too much - and it's the easiest way.

That is correct. But it is important that the page number place holders are—contrary to the screenshoot—outside the margins to avoid conflicts with the text and also on a separate layer on top of all layers to avoid covering drom images.
