Creating a Page Copy

By pressing buttons 4 and 5 in succession, you can create a copy of a page. You can also copy a page to another document.

Page Display Mode

In the Pages panel, you can use button no. 9 to choose one of four page display modes:

  1. page sequence number
  2. short page name (the mode used in previous versions)
  3. sequence number, period and page name
  4. custom text using variables
Pages panel settings

Write variable names between curly braces { and }.

This setting is saved separately for each document. If the original mode suits you, there is no need to change anything in existing documents. The new, more descriptive display mode can also be used for existing documents – but it must be set manually.

Where to Enter Page Variable Values

Double-click the page name to display a dialog box where, on the "Variables" tab, you set the "short page name", "page name" and page variables.
