InDesign - chapter numbering

[Jan Kaderka]

Hi,

I am sorry if my question is really a dumb one but I searched for this everywhere with no luck...

I am working on my bachelor's thesis in InDesign and need to create chapter numbering. I already successfully inserted the Chapter Number text variable to a master page and it seems it is working but I am unable to find any mention on the internet how to create a new chapter in InDesign.

Could you please help me with this? Thank you very much!

You can right-click on the page you need to start your section with and select " Numbering & Section Options" and start new chpter with the numbering method you need.

Chapter numbering only works with Book Files.

But he can use The Number & Section Options to make New counting or counting style for his document.
