How to add PAGE NUMBERS to a document

In order to add page numbers to your documents follow these steps:

	1.  Select Master pages from the View menu.
	2.  Click in the header or footer of the page, depending on
		where you want the page number to be.
	3.  Select Variable from the Special menu.  Then select the
		"Current Page #" variable and click on insert. You
		will see a "#" sign appear on the master page.
	4.  Format the paragraph as needed to place the number in the
		correct location (Format->Paragraph and change the
		value of alignment)
	5.  Select Body pages from the View menu.  The pages should
	    all update automatically.

NOTE: If there is no header or footer on the master page you will have
to create your own.  To do this, click the mouse on the triangle in
the upper right hand corner.  This will bring up the graphics tools.
Select the tool that looks like a page in a book (a rectangle with
lines drawn across it).  Now place this text frame on the page in the
location where you want the page number to be, and then follow steps
2-5 above.
