Page number choices dimmed or greyed out in Page Layout mode.
I am designing a book using Apple Pages in Page Layout mode. I wish to start page numbering at a particular number. I am on the document's ninth page. I have inserted a page number into the center box of the footer. I have also created a text box and inserted the page number there. Both currently display the number 9. I wish to change this to 1 and begin numbering subsequent pages there. With nothing selected on my page (the 9th page of the document), I click on the brush icon labeled Format. This brings up a sidebar on the right labeled Page Layout. I click on the "Greater Than" symbol next to the words "Page Numbering" and a drop down panel appears. It contains the word: Format above a "dimmed out" or "greyed out" drop down menu followed by the word Numbering above another dimmed out page numbering control. How do I activate these controls so I may properly format my page numbers? Thank you for your assistance. -Peter
