Hi there. In this video we're going to look at automatic page numbering,
where we can jump to any page and it automatically knows what page,
we don't have to manually type it in.
We're going to use the automatic page numbering feature
and the master pages, so let's go and do that.
First step we need to make sure we're on our A-master,
because we want to do it once and it'll appear all the pages.
So double-click any of these two spreads.
I'm going to zoom in, and just double-check that you can see down here it says A-master.
If it's not, just keep hitting this,
double click,double click until you get in there.
What we'll do, is we'll start with the bottom right,
so I'm going to zoom in a little bit.
We're going to grab the type tool,
then we're going to draw a type box anywhere in this white area,
because there's nothing here, it's safe to be drawn in the white now, it's fun.
Let's type in page,
I'm going to use the word "Page", space.
I'm going to now put in my automatic page numbering.
So we're going to go up to Type,
and we're going to go Insert Special Character,
there is one in here called Markers,
and then it's called Current Page Number,
and a horrible shortcut.
But sure why they decide like, "Yeah,
that's the one they use all the time,
so we're going to use this."
You have to use your two hands and your nose to get that one to work anyway.
It says page A, which is a bit weird,
you're like, "That's not page 1."
It's because we're on now A-master.
It means that we're on this page A-master,
but if I jump to page one,
look double-click, hey, I'm on page 1.
Double click page 3, hey, I'm on page 3.
So that's the automatic page numbering.
It puts an A because I'm on my A-master but it'll adjust for every page.
So let's go back to A-master and let's style a tiny bit.
I'm going to select the text.
Now 12 is the default font size, is too big.
Ten point is a nice, good body copy size for page numbers in terms of the font,
I'm just going to put an Arial.
We'll look at fancier fonts later on.
I can't even spell Arial, Arial Bold.
I'm going to make it white.
So I have the tick selected.
Let's go up here and I'm going to pick a paper.
What I also might do is I'll grab my black arrow. It's gone.
Click anywhere in the center,
it's a little hard when you've got nothing to click on.
Just click in here in the center of this box, there it is.
What I'll do is highlight the text again,
and I'm going to get it to go to paragraph,
and I'm going to get it to write a line.
It just means that when I get up to say double digits,
it will stop pushing away from the side that way.
I'm going to use a lineup with that margin there.
Now if yours is not lining up,
I'm like, "Why isn't it lining up, it always lines up?
"Go to View, Display Performance,
no Extras, no, this one here.
Grids and Guides, Smart Guides is turned off.
I have no idea why.
It's been on for the rest of the course,
I must have accidentally bumped that shortcut,
but if it doesn't, you'll see Smart Guides.
Smart Guides are amazing.
They are those little lines that appear.
I can see now it lines up perfectly.
So down here I'm lining up nicely.
You can use your arrow keys just to push it down a bit further,
and there's my page.
What I want to do is copy it.
Say I've used Command C, and open this page,
I'm going to go Command V. I'll put it over here.
I'm going to get to line up, but what I'd like to do is highlight the text.
Boom, boom, boom.
Is it lining up across spreads?
Probably not. It does do it by accident.
You can see the lines I'm dragging out,
I zoomed right out and those green lines tried to line it up and it does work.
Most of the time it works,
but it's a little bit hard to do, I guess.
So I'm going to click both of these and align them.
To select more than one object,
black arrow, click on this box once.
Hold shift, click on this box.
I'll zoom in a little bit, and up the top here I've got a little shortcut version there,
but you can go to Window and go to Object, Align.
Let's just get them to align.
Double check, nice.
So just double check page 1,
page 2, page 3, it says page 3,
and that my friends is automatic page numbering.
Let's get on to the next video.
