You don't know how something like this, that looks simple and that's useful doesn't have a proper tutorial until I saw yours, so perfect. A big thank you.
This has been the most confusing thing to put together until seeing your smart and simple tutorial on how to set page numbers across a whole document. THANK YOU! Appreciate the time you took to put this together :) - Brian + Erin
Super video style - clear, to the point without rambling about the meaning of life and what you had for breakfast. Just the information needed on the fly in the middle of a project. Subscribed! Thank you!
Thank you! One extra tip - add a layer and put the master page numbers on it, then lock the layer - then they’ll always be on top (if you have a pic bleeding off the page or something like that). Thank you so much for the comment!
Thanks! I think the example you used for this tutorial is brilliant! I have just started learning InDesign, a couple of days ago, and I have almost learned everything. (I have been on Photoshop and Illustrator for 4 years now).
I am so glad you made this video!!!! I dont usually comment on videos, but you made my crappy day so much better! so helpful! thanks, thanks, thanks!!!!
Awesome. Thank you. I’ve taken several years off from graphic design, and it seems my muscle memory is gone. I appreciate that you covered what I needed to know thoroughly and concisely. Best yet, you included the key commands, which will help bring back my muscle memory.
@@GDHT Thanks so much for replying. Because I have COVID and have improved a little, I am able to catch up on some eLearning. Your videos are so good. Some people have the knack od the total user experience. Many thanks and Happy (COVID Free) New Year! Guy x
@@GDHT hi again! I badly need help. I would like to ask if it's advisable to make separate indesign files for each chapter and then combine them in one file? I'm having a hard time when my client uploads the file on epub and kindle. The texts are strange, images have black borders and it is free flowing to the point where the chapter begins in the middle of the page. Thank you in advance and so sorry for the inconvenience
GREAT tutorial, thankyou. One question: if you have an image or a colour-filled shape stretched over a pages a background (also, is that the wrong way to do it?) how do you get the page number to come to the front?
Thank you! You'll need to add a layer and put the master page numbers on it, then lock the layer - then they’ll always be on top (if you have a pic bleeding off the page or something like that).
Thanks! I have another tutorial about getting page numbering to start where you want in Indesign - it's sort of a starting point... th-cam.com/video/qbUTJoDLRG4/w-d-xo.html And I was able to find this article about changing page number types mid-document: helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/layout-design-9.html Hope this helps!!
Hi Rachael, you can add a layer in your layers window, on top of the other layers. Then put the master page numbers on it, then lock the layer - then they’ll always be on top (if you have a pic bleeding off the page or something like that). Thank you so much for the comment!
Watched a few of your videos now and made my life a whole lot easier, thank you. Do you have any videos for creating a Table of Contents in Indesign with dots between subject and page numbers?
Thanks for this! I have a problem where the numbers are stuck to the bottom layer of the page. My pages have pictures and text boxes everywhere and I can't seem to bring the page numbers forward. Can you help?
Hi Julien, you can add a layer in your layers window, on top of the other layers. Then put the master page numbers on it, then lock the layer - then they’ll always be on top (if you have a pic bleeding off the page or something like that). Thank you so much for the comment!
Fantastic tutorial, very clear and concise. Question: like your example, I have images that cover the entire page. Only difference is, my page number shows up behind the image, so it's not seen. How do I fix this?
Thank you! You can add a layer and put the master page numbers on it, then lock the layer and make sure it's above your artwork layer - then they’ll always be on top. I hope this helps!

You can add a layer and put the master page numbers on it, then lock the layer - then they’ll always be on top (if you have a pic bleeding off the page or something like that). Let me know if you're still having trouble.
@@GDHT Yes adding a new layer to my master page fixed this issue for me. It was easy. Just highlighted the master layer. Went to Layers tab and clicked add new layer. Then added my text. Lock and load rock and roll. Thanks for the great video.
It looks like you'll need the ScribeDOOR plugin: 1. Put the page numbering on the master page(s) 2. Format the master page numbers to use a suitable font 3. In the ScribeDOOR panel, there’s an option for “Digits” which includes Arabic, Devanagari, Gujarati and many others. It's also possible with the In-Tools World Tools plugin.
Great tutorial. I'm a newbie struggling with page number and TOC entries. Do you have a video or can you tell me how to have lower case roman numerals in the front matter, numbers in the main body, and have all appear in the TOC?
Thank you for this video! What if the first page with a page number starts at page 3 when it should be page 2? (The cover has no number, the table of contents has no number showing but is page 1) Thanks!
If the page numbers aren't starting in the right place, try this video: th-cam.com/video/qbUTJoDLRG4/w-d-xo.html - oh whoops I just saw you already found that one.
Thanks for the tutorial, very clear and informative! Question: I'm wondering if you've ever come across the problem I'm experiencing: The page numbers are not lining up to where I place them on the master - for example, I have the numbering on my master placed to the outside bottom edges, just like your example, but they're showing up in the middle of the pages... I've tried deleting and re-doing them, I've tried creating a new master... same results! I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Help!
It sounds like your master pages might be single pages and your regular pages are spreads (or vice versa). Can you make them the same and try it again?
a big thank for this but i've a problem i design the book but i wnat to start the page number of 1 to book i design of page number 3 how can solve the problem
You're welcome! Here's a tutorial to get page numbering to start where you want in Indesign (I think that's what you're asking) : th-cam.com/video/qbUTJoDLRG4/w-d-xo.html
Hi... There are Some Backgrounds in my pages... But the numbers does't show because are Behind ( I can not send the numbering to front. I'd like numbering showing on image. Thank You.
Joao Santos You can add a layer and put the master page numbers on it, then lock the layer - then they’ll always be on top (if you have a pic bleeding off the page or something like that). Thank you so much for the comment!
So these are just single pages (not spreads)? If so, you can just make one master page and apply it to all the pages, and add the page number like the video shows (just to the bottom right only).
So you want them to say 2,4,6,8? Try right clicking on page 2 in the Pages window, go to Numbering and Section Options, then Start Page numbering at 2. Let me know if that works!
You'll need to have a text box created, with your cursor positioned inside. If you don't have a text box selected, the options will be greyed out. Let me know if this fixed the problem.
Hi Great lesson... I'm designing a cover on canvas for an eBook I'm writing on a very serious topic 'Suicide' and need all the help I can get... I've always taken down notes in OneNote for quite sometime, so many at this stage that I could write a whole book on just the prologue, and so it difficult to pick from all these notes for a starting point!... I will have a Prologue and a Forward... I will download your eBook Template and follow through, But may I ask your advice on whether I should continue to edit the entire book in Canvas or use InDesign for both the eBook and hardcopy... Thank you and thanks for being on here to help people like myself. P.S. The body text... what is best?
Thank you! I've actually never heard of Canvas, but InDesign is really great for multi-page documents and ebooks. If you do decide to go with Indesign, make sure to set up paragraph styles. They're tricky but are absolutely a lifesaver!! I have a tutorial about them here: th-cam.com/video/ZSc2s7jl630/w-d-xo.html
@@gobrad Oh wow, I didn't know it was even possible to lay out an entire book with Canva. I don't think I would go that route, if I were you. I'd definitely recommend InDesign, or even Word (although I'm not a fan of Word) over Canva. But Canva is great for single images, like your cover or maybe some graphs/images in your book!
Hello... I saw a lot of people don't use facing pages about ebooks... are we have to use facing pages if we are on ebook? Otherwise, what would be a problem if we did the classic single page order?
Thank you! Illustrator doesn't have automatic page numbering, just InDesign. If you're making a multi-page document with more than say, 6 pages, InDesign is the better option. Hope this helps!

I need the page numbers sequentially printed on the right side (recto) of my 20 page booklet. How do I do this? Thanks
So these are just single pages (not spreads)? If so, you can just make one master page and apply it to all the pages, and add the page number like the video shows (just to the bottom right only).
A spread. Somehow, when I apply the master page on only the right side of the spread, page 2 appears as page 3.
So you want them to say 2,4,6,8? Try right clicking on page 2 in the Pages window, go to Numbering and Section Options, then Start Page numbering at 2. Let me know if that works!
What if the "Insert special character" function is not allowing me to insert page numbers? It is just not available to choose any of the options.
You'll need to have a text box created, with your cursor positioned inside. If you don't have a text box selected, the options will be greyed out. Let me know if this fixed the problem.
@@GDHT the options are still greyed out for me, do you know what could be the problem?
