: How to set page numbers in indesign used multiple master pages? I am using multiple master pages and shuffle the order of master pages in document pages. For example ... page number 1 is assigned

On each Master Page....


Create a text frame.
With the cursor active in the text frame, Choose Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number.
You will see a character which corresponds to the master page in the text frame. i.e. for Master Page A, you'll see an A, for Master page B you'll see a B, etc.
Style this character however you wish - size, font, color, etc.


These characters will automatically be converted to the current page number within the document when the master page is assigned to a document page. So if page 4 is using Master Page B, the character will be 4. If page 5 is assigned Master Page A, the character will be 5, etc.
