What many programs call Master Pages, Publisher 98 calls Background pages. Elements on the background appear on all foreground pages making them ideal for repeating elements such as page numbers.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: NA
Here's How:
- To place elements on the background page, choose View | Go to Background from the menu.
- Initially, the Background pages looks like a blank page.
- You can place guidelines on the background to aid in placement of text blocks for page numbers. Choose Arrange | Layout Guides from the menu.
- To place page numbers on your background page, first create a text box (outside the margins is best).
