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. However, it 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.

Add automatic page numbers for story jumps
You can easily maintain the jump lines of stories that continue to other pages, such as a line that says “Continued on
page 42.” Use a jump line page number to automatically update the number of the page containing a story’s next or
previous threaded text frame when you move or reflow the story’s threaded text frames.
Usually the jump line page number should be in a separate text frame from the story it tracks. That way, the jump
line page number remains in position even if the story’s text reflows.
If you insert an Auto Page Number character in the Find/Change dialog box, jump line page numbers can also be
found.
1 With the Type tool, drag to create a new text frame where you want the jump line to appear.
2 With the Selection tool , position the new text frame so that it overlaps the frame containing the story you want
to track.
Make sure text frame touches or overlaps story you want it to track.
3 Select the Type tool and click an insertion point in the new text frame. Then type the text that you want to appear
before the page number, such as “Continued on” or “Continued from”.
4 Then choose Type > Insert Special Character and one of the following options:
Next Page Number Inserts the number of the page containing the story’s next frame. Use this character when
creating a “continued on” jump line.
