2. add 2 numbers one on each line to the text box like:

2
3. click OK.

ADD THE PAGE NUMBERS
1. create new text flow object on your page or add the the existing one you create above.
2. select a template like the one created above if you have not already done so.
3. in the text box, put the numbers for your pages, one for each line. We suggest you keep a copy of this in a text file somewhere to copy and paste from for future books. e.g.
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
.. ect
4. click ok. the numbers will be automatically added to the new pages a new text flow object.
If the template does not turn out as expected, the reason for this is that template settings are only applied on new pages and next. You can redo again by deleting and pasting the text again. To delete the template text flow object,right click on it then select delete text flow object. Delete the text flow object using normal delete only deletes from that page only.
