Would one of you please show me how to arrange a page master (if possible) that allows page numbers to be placed on 'outside' lower corners of the page.
Reason: I am creating a short index for my document, which is expected to require at most two 3-col. pages, the first with an odd, second with an even page number. The second page will have a facing page with an image, again with an outward page number.
With thanks in advance,
Jack
Sure.
Make a new document: 2 pages, 3 columns.
Double click A-Master to navigate to the master pages. Use the Type tool to draw a text frame in the bottom margin of the left hand page.
Add the page number with Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number. An "A" will appear because you are on the A-Master. Format as desired, set the Alignment to Left. Select the frame and Alt/Opt+Sh+drag the frame to the facing page. (Alt/Opt will duplicate the original frame, Shift maintains the same horizontal plane.) Change the Alignment of the "A" in the right page frame to Align Right.
Check page 1.
Check page 2.
All set.
