• On all pages — lets you insert page
  numbers on all pages. The page number is
  inserted on a new all-page master layer,
  and this layer becomes the active layer.


• On all odd pages — lets you insert page
  numbers on all odd pages. The page
  number is inserted on a new odd-page
  master layer, and this layer becomes the
  active layer. This option is available only if
  the active page is an odd page.


• On all even pages — lets you insert page
  numbers on all even pages. The page
  number is inserted on a new even-page
  master layer, and this layer becomes the
  active layer. This option is available only if
  the active page is an even page.

You can change the default page number
settings before or after you insert page
numbers in your document. For example, you
can start the page count at a specific number
other than 1. This is particularly useful if you
want to create multiple CorelDRAW files that
will be put together as one publication.

You can also specify whether to start page
numbering on the first page or on another
page. For example, if you choose to start page
numbering on page 3, page 3 displays the
number 1. If you insert a new page between 1
and 2, it becomes the new page 2, whereas the
old page 2 becomes page 3 — the page where
the first page number is displayed.

You can manipulate page numbers like any
other text object. For example, you can move
or resize a page number and change its font or
color.
