Creating a Page Copy

Press buttons 4 and 5 in succession to duplicate a page. You can also copy a page to a different document this way.

Page Display Mode

In the Pages panel, use button 9 to choose one of four display modes for page tabs:

  1. Page sequence number
  2. Short page name (the default 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 current mode works for you, there's no need to change anything in existing documents. You can apply the new, more descriptive display mode to existing documents too — just set it manually.

Where to Enter Page Variable Values

Double-click the page name to open a dialog. On the "Variables" tab, you can set the "short page name", "page name", and any page variables.
