This has been asked in various permutations and answered with a variety of suggested solutions, on one or another of the FrameMaker forums. A Google search for framemaker page numbering, or framemaker custom page numbering, should turn up one or more discussions.
Usually one suggestion is to create a small flow-tagged master-page text frame on the master for the particular body page, Left, in this case, to hold page numbers. Then on the first left body page, tag the paragraph marker in the text frame with a numbered format that's set to start at top of column, and press enter a lot of times to push numbers into all existing pages.

No. But, because FM only can have one page number per spread, another solution is to create a two-page wide layout, and use standard page numbers that display only on the "left page." You'd need to create a master-page text frame for Flow B, with Autoflow property for the "right page." HTH Regards, Peter _______________________________ Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices
