When in Page View, Nisus Writer Pro keeps track of the page numbers of your documents and
displays them (the “current” out of the “total”) in the left edge of the Statusbar.

Nisus Writer Pro also provides customizable tools for automatically numbering objects. The most
common form is page numbering. You will find these automatic numbering features in the menu
Insert > Automatic Number.
Headers and Footers are those parts of your document where you most often place information that
is likely to vary. These may include such items as:
• the current page of your document
• the current section of your document
• the total number of pages in the current section (or the entire document if it is all one section).
Most documents contain variables such as page numbers. Here’s where to find the variables used
in headers and footers:
• Section number
the menu command Insert > Automatic Number > Section Number
• Pages in Section
the menu command Insert > Automatic Number > Pages in Section
• Page number
the menu command Insert > Automatic Number > Page Number
!
Most aspects of page numbering utilize headers and/or footers; see “Headers and Footers” beginning
on page 135.
