2. Select the desired field format. 3. Click OK. Better than the direct formatting method, just described, is to make the page number format a property of the Page Style as explained below: 1. Open the context menu on the page and select Page. Then the user will see, for example, the Page Style: default dialogue. Instead of “default”, the title bar of the dialogue contains the name of the current Page Style. 2. Go to the Page tab. 3. In the Numbering pull-down list, determine how the numbering should appear on all pages with this Style. 4. Close the dialogue with OK. 5. Now select the As Page Style format for the field which shows the page number (see the description of direct formats above ). Users may change other properties in the footer, such as the font, by editing the Footer Paragraph Style so that the changes will apply to all footers. •
Place the cursor in the footer. Call the context menu and choose Edit Paragraph Style.
Increasing the spacing of the footer from the text above is also a format attribute of the Page Style: 1. Select the Page Style in the Stylist wanted. 2. Right click and select the Modify... command in the the context menu.
