Page Number in Paragraph Style

[Ridder, Fred]

You build headers or footers directly in the header or footer frame
on the Master Page rather than through the autonumber properties
of the Paragraph Designer (which is intended for paragraphs in the 
body of the document rather than on the Master Page). 

Each FrameMaker system variable is valid only in a specific defined
context. For example, the Table Continuation and Table Sheet 
variables are only valid if the insertion point is in a table, and the 
Running H/F variables are only valid when the insertion point is in
a background frame (e.g. a header or footer frame) on a Master
Page. The <$pagenum> and <$curpagenum> variables are simply
not valid in autonumbering formats, which is why they are displayed 
as literal strings. 

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Subject: Page Number in Paragraph Style


Hi,

I'd like to set up a paragraph format to use for my footer that contains
the page number and my company's required document label. When I try to
use <$pagenum> (or <$curpagenum>, or if I paste in the <$curpagenum>
variable) in the autonumber format for the style, and place the footer
on the master page, I don't get the page number (just the text
"<$pagenum>" or "#"). Any tips?

Frame 7.1, Windoze.

Thanks!
Nicole
