Adobe InDesign/Page numbers

Question
Hi when using automatic page numbering on facing pages my left and right page numbers work fine, but when I convert to single pages so I can put bleed on for print all the numbers go to the left is there a way I can do right and left page numbers

Answer
Hi Su,

When you switched from facing pages to single pages, the master defaults to use only the left side.

Create a new master page and set it up as the right hand page of your book. Drag and drop this master onto every other page after your first left hand page. This will force those pages page number to the right hand side.

Thanks,
