Add Page Numbers to a Proposal

You can add page numbers to a header or footer on a proposal.

Prerequisite: In the Navigation pane, select Proposals > Custom Proposals and then create a new proposal or open an existing proposal.

To add page numbers to a proposal:

  1. In the Settings pane, click Properties and then click Document Properties.
  2. In the Document Properties pane, select the Header and/or Footer option.
    This inserts the same header and/or footer on all pages of the proposal.
    • To create specific headers and/or footers for individual pages within the proposal, follow the directions in steps 3 and 4.
    • To use one format for all headers and/or footers on all pages, continue to step 5.
  3. To create specific headers and/or footers for individual pages within the proposal, select the proposal page and click Page Properties.
  4. Select the Header and/or Footer option for the page.
    This will override the default settings from the Document Properties pane only for the selected page.
  5. To define the header and/or footer properties, select the actual header or footer on a page in the proposal.
    Depending on whether you selected a header or a footer, the Header Properties or Footer Properties pane opens. You can define different settings for headers and footers, but the options that are available in the panes are the same.
  6. Use the Columns field to define how many columns display in the header or footer.
    Columns are useful for including multiple types of information in the header or footer. A divider is inserted on the header or footer for each column. The maximum number of columns for a header or footer is 3. A column field displays for each column that is defined. For example, if you select 3 in the Columns field, then Column 1, Column 2, and Column 3 fields display.

    These different columns are useful, for example, when a header includes the proposal title, date, and a page number. In this case, 3 columns would be defined.

  7. To insert a page number in the header or footer, select Field as the column type.
  8. On the Field Settings dialog box, set the Field list to Page Number.
  9. Use the Format field to select the type of page number format to apply to the header or footer: 1, 2, 3, 4, or I, II, III, IV, or a, b, c, d, and so on.
  10. Click Save.
