Frequently asked questions
How do I add “Page 1 of 10”?
The footer center box starts with “Page {page} of {pages}”. Each page gets its own number and the total.
Can I put text only on odd or even pages?
Yes. Choose odd or even pages. For printed books, tick “Swap left and right on even pages” so text sits on the outer edge.
Can the header be in Hindi or another language?
Yes. Type in any language; a font that supports it is embedded, including Devanagari for Hindi.
How do I leave the cover page without a header?
Under “More options”, tick “Skip the first page (cover)”.
