Hi,

Has Fin25 done away with the ability to have multiple regions of page numbers? I wish to have three different regions, each starting at whatever number I like... Is that still possible? How do I bring up this menu of old?

Cheers
HP.

Don't worry, I think I've found a way by using a text field > insert page number > page offset & edit frame attributes.
Cheers,

As Far As I Can Tell, Finale v25 is not different from previous versions when it comes to page number regions.

1) To define, on what pages (in what region) the page number text block should appear:
Select the text block handle.
Text menu > Frame Attributes…
(next to the menu item Frame Attributes… there is a shortcut - for faster work)

2) To edit the region’s starting number:
Select the text block handle.
Text menu > Edit Page Offset…
(next to the menu item Edit Page Offset… there is a shortcut - for faster work)

Yep, nothing has changed in Page Numbers for many years.

Frame Attributes is also on a right-click of a text anchor.

You're probably confusing measure numbers with page numbers.
