Question
Hi,

Is there a way to do auto page numbers that makes them all stay the top layer of the pages.  I know how to do the auto numbering, but it is always under my pictures.

Thanks,
DLo

Answer
Hi DLo,

Create a new layer for your page numbers and make it the upper most layer. On your Master Pages, move your page numbers to this layer. Place your other elements on layers below this one. That will insure that the page numbers stay on top.

Thanks,
