Expert: James Fritz Date: 3/31/2008 Subject: Auto page numbering and background colors
Question Hi James. I usually try to figure these things out on my own but, oh boy. I'm
sure there is s a simple answer, it seems like such a simple obvious thing that
I'm overlooking.
My folios are set on master pages. I'd like the full bleed background color
that I've applied to various document pages to sit BEHIND the folio. But,
unless I override the folio on the master page, the background hides the
folio. Same with full-bleed photos. Doing so breaks the folio from the master
page.
However, if I over the course of the project I want to make the folio smaller or
change the font, the folio that I applied the override to won't accept that
change.
All I want to do is have my folios rest IN FRONT of my full bleeds.
Help?
Answer Tracy,
My suggestion is to use layers. Make a new layer called "folios" and put all of your folio's on that layer. Now make sure that layer is at the top of the stacking order in the layers panel. Now your folio will always be at the top. If you want anything else to always be at the top, make sure it is on its own layer about everything else.
