I wonder if it is possible. I have to print a list of texts
combined into one text file. Pages must be read in order to avoid
misinterpretation. Typically one will create header or footer. But
I look for page number printed in rather big font ( 20 - 40 points)
and header is waste of space. One of the solutions is to create
frames (+-15% of page width ) and have text printed next to the
frame as well. But it means manually copying frames to page after
page as file grows and deleting if shrinks. Any ideas how to
create object that automatically comes on each page but do not take
whole width of the page? I still use 2.4.
Perhaps create a very small header (use Format|Page to reduce size
and spacing to 0), and insert a frame into this. Put the page number
into the frame. Put the frame where you wish on the page, and set
wrap as needed.
There's no "perhaps" about it: this is the ideal solution. But may I
add some more detail, in case the questioner needs it?
The point of this method is that, provided that the frame is anchored
in the header or footer, the frame itself can be placed anywhere on
the page, with any page number field in the frame still incrementing
automatically just as it would if it were physically in the header or footer.
o Create a header or footer in the relevant page style.
o Put the cursor into the header or footer and use Insert | Frame...
to create a frame. On the type tab, ensure that Anchor is either "To
paragraph" or "To character".
o Go to Format | Page... (or right-click | Page...). On the Header
or Footer tab, you can effectively hide the header or footer by
removing the tick from "AutoFit height" and setting Height to the
minimum (which appears to be 0.1 cm) and Spacing to
zero. Alternatively, and perhaps more easily, you could just reduce
the top or bottom page margin (as appropriate) so as to move the
(empty) header or footer into what was the margin and expand the text
area back to its original size.
o Now that you have your page text area back (almost?) to what it
was, you can insert Page Number into the frame, adjust the format of
the page number, and position and resize the frame where you need
it. (Note that the frame anchor remains in the header or footer.)
I trust this helps.
