page numbering

[Acorn]

Kenn, there isn't a XP&GDv20. You image also is showing an early UI so I think you have XP&GDv19 or earlier.

It may be unfortunate that the Help seems to show you have the capability but Page Numbering has never been there for XWD or XWDP either.
It is poor product filtering on Xara's part.

The killer is https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...ert_menu.html:

Page number (Designer Pro only)
Inserts a page number and specifies its position. See Adding page numbers for more info.

The main giveaway is you will not have any Templates with page numbering added.

Have you not looked at the earlier Posts offering suggestions on how to gain a page-numbered template?

Kenn, thank you. If you paid £180 then you got Xara Designer Pro Perpetual v20. There is no P&GD v20.

What you bought should have Page Numbering.

I mentioned the UI looked wrong so perhaps you are not actually running v20.
@handrawn has it and he may check.

Check your Help About to see what you are running.

hi ken - your link is for Designer Pro V20 [not Photo and Graphic Designer]

[handrawn]

cross posted acorn - yes Designer pro V20 does have page numbering...

[handrawn]

and yet, Kenn's screenshot clearly shows Photo and Graphic designer ...

[Acorn]

Kenn, as your image shows the product used is "Xara Photo and Graphic Designer" but the icons are monochrome, I think you should open XDProv20 Perpetual by running as Administrator just the once.
The new program might be using your old program's libraries.

My turn to X-Post!

The screenshot also seems to have a typo: "From Design Gallery... Skift+Alt+I".

no such typo in Designer Pro v20...

no such typo in Designer Pro v20...

Probably Danish, yet I didn't know Xara had a Danish version.

We might find out.
