Question
How do I delete the page number from the back cover of a book?

Answer
Ven -
1. Open the file that creates the "back cover" of your book (i.e. the last file in your book), Go to your Master Pages and add a new Master page and call it something like "No Numbering," and remove the page numbering information click "Save."
3. Now go to the body pages and select FORMAT - PAGE LAYOUT - MASTER PAGE USAGE, then select the current page you want to apply the new master page format to. This should leave your last page of the book with no page number on it.

An easier way may be to create a new file with no page numbering on it and just put it as the last file in your Book.

I hope this answers your question if not, please ask again

Expertise

Basic set-up of books, master pages, generation of List of Effective pages (LEP), Indexing, auto-numbering. Various ways to import graphics, including advantages and disadvantages of importing into a text frame or importing into a "blank" page. Using a "book" to generate PDF files, with hyperlinking. Customization of function keys, currently setup for Frame 7.0 i.e. change F1 to turn "Change bar" On and Off, F2 to "Cut" a selection, F3 to copy, F4 to Paste, F6 to set line to "TOP OF PAGE" and Shift F6 to start line "anywhere" these can be easily your current config files and if you do not like them - old config files can be restored. I have no expertise in Structured Framemaker, (i.e. XML or SGML).
