Inserting the page number, date, etc.
Headers and footers often contain the page number, date, etc. With TextMaker, you
can insert this sort of information using what are called fields.
To do this, move the text cursor to the desired position in the header or footer,
invoke the Insert > Field command and select the desired field – for example
“Page number” or “Print date”. You will find information about the various kinds
of fields in chapter “Fields” beginning on page 159.
Tip: There are some buttons in the Header and Footer toolbar for inserting the
most frequently used fields (page number, date, etc.). See the previous section.
Example: inserting the page number in a footer
For example, to insert the page number in a footer, proceed as follows:
1. Click in the footer to position the text cursor there.
2. Invoke the Insert > Field command.
3. Select “Page number” from the Field type list.
4. Choose the desired representation of the number from the Format list – e.g.
Arabic (1, 2, 3, ...) or Roman (I, II, III, ...).
5. Confirm with OK.
TextMaker now inserts a page number field in the footer.
