Insert Page Numbers

You can insert page numbers in a report and specify the number style to use. You can select a predefined page numbering scheme or create a custom scheme. You can easily insert page numbers using the Page Number object.

You can also manually create an expression to insert page numbers by inserting a layout calculation and using the different page report functions in the expression editor.

Steps

1. In the Insertable Objects pane, on the Toolbox tab , drag Page Number to the location where you want page numbers to appear.

   Tip: When you create a new report using one of the existing report templates, Page Number is already inserted in the page footer.

2. Right-click the page number symbol and click Edit Number Style.

3. Choose the style that you want to use.

   The first three choices apply only to vertical page numbers. The remaining choices specify how vertical and horizontal page values appear.

4. If you want to customize the choice that you made in the previous step, click the edit button , make the changes that you want, and click OK.

   A custom number style is created. If you later choose a different number style, the custom style is removed from the list.

   Tip: In the Custom Number Style dialog box, when you pause the pointer over a box, a tooltip describes how that box affects page numbers. For example, the Separator Text box contains the text, such as a hyphen, that separates page values for both vertical and horizontal pages.
