Here I am again, asking for help from any of the super-user of FM partecipating at this forum.... Probably the question has an obvious answer, not for me: I need to create in a master page a footer like "Page 15 / (Page 16 blank)". How can I identify page 16? I've tried to make something like <$curpagenum>+1, but I do not know which is the correct syntax... Many tks in advance Jo

You cannot do this with the normal page variable in FM. You *could* possibly fake this by some manually applied auto-numbered page numbers on the body pages, but.... -- /Thomas Michanek

If you're trying to have two separate page numbers on the same Master page, then you can't do this in directly in FM. It could be possible to use FrameScript to add this information to a separate text frame on a Body page though. I'm having a hard time trying to visualize what you're hoping to accomplish with this type of numbering scheme? Are you laying out two pages on a single Master page?

In a page followed by a blank page, I need to force to footer in order to show that the next page is blank. Ie, I have page 15 followed by page 16 blank, I will have on footer the wording: "page 15 / (page 16 blank)". I know I can force it manually, I am wondering if there's a possibility to get it automatically by means of a variable, a script...
