Layout
Define sections in a document
1 In the Pages panel, select the first page in the section you want to define.
2 Choose Layout > Numbering & Section Options, or choose Numbering & Section Options in the Pages panel.
3 If you’re changing the numbering options for any page other than the first page of the document, make sure that
Start Section is selected. This option marks the selected page as the beginning of a new section.
4 As necessary, specify the numbering and section options (see “ Document numbering options ” on page 89), and
then click OK.
A section indicator icon appears above the page icon in the Pages panel, indicating the start of a new section.
5 To end the section, repeat the section numbering steps on the first page that follows the section.
Edit or remove section numbering
1 In the Pages panel, double-click the section indicator icon that appears above the page icon in the Pages panel.
Or, select a page that uses a section marker, and choose Numbering & Section Options in the Pages panel menu.
2 Do any of the following, and then click OK:
• To change the style or starting number, change section and numbering options.
• To remove a section, deselect the Start Section option.
To quickly identify a section in the Pages panel, position the pointer precisely over any section indicator icon . A
tool tip appears, displaying the starting page number or section prefix.
Display absolute or section numbering in the Pages panel
The Pages panel can display absolute numbering (labeling all pages with consecutive numbers, starting at the first page
of the document) or section numbering (labeling pages by section, as specified in the Section Options dialog box).
Changing the numbering display affects how pages are indicated in the InDesign document, as in the Pages panel and
in the page box at the bottom of a document window. The numbering display also affects how you specify page ranges
when printing and exporting the document. However, the numbering display does not change the appearance of page
numbers on document pages.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > General (Mac OS).
2 For Page Numbering, choose a numbering method in the View menu.
