Mirrored Page Numbers
I want to have mirrored page numbers -- that is page numbers at the left
margin on even-numbered pages and page numbers at the right margin on odd-numbered pages. Years ago, I seem to remember doing this quite easily in PageMaker. Now, I'm using Publisher 2007 running under Windows Vista. Can Publlisher do this? If so, how? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Gordon |

Yes.
1.Choose View - Header and Footer 2.(Optional) In the header, type some identifying text at the blinking cursor, such as the word Page 3.Click the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar or press Alt+Shift+P 4.(Optional) Select the page-number mark and format it as you would format any other text 5.Click the Close button on the Header and Footer toolbar. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Gordon Padwick" wrote in message ...

Thanks JoAnn.
I followed your suggestions, but something seems to be missing. In my original question, I omitted to say that I am attempting to set up page numbering in master pages. After I create a pair of master pages for facing pages in the document, I see how to place a page number in the footer at either margin. When I place the page number at the left margin on the left master page, the page number also appears at trhe left margin on the right master page. When I change the position of the page number on the right master page to the right margin, it moves to the right margin on the left master page. What I'm looking for, and was previously able to do in PageMaker, was to create a pair of master pages with the page number on the left on the left master page and the page number on the right on the right master page. Can I do this in Publisher? If so, how? Gordon "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ...

I know you can do it (I've been using a similar setup for years with various
versions of Publisher) but don't remember how I got there. Must be something to do with the rt/left master page setup. Are you doing the setup in 2-page view? bj "Gordon Padwick" wrote in message ...

When you insert your page numbers select outside on the drop down.
