Add running heads and page numbers

What you'll do: set up the small repeating text at the top of each printed page and choose where page numbers go. These are for the print PDF.

This is the Headers & footers section on the Design step. See Running heads & page numbers for the idea.

Steps

1. Go to Design and open Headers & footers.
2. Turn Headers & footers on.
3. Choose a Layout — what shows on the left and right pages, for example Author / Title or Title / Chapter. A running head traditionally shows the book title on one side and the chapter on the other.
4. Set Header position (toward the outer edges or centered) and where page numbers go (header, footer, or off).
5. Fine-tune the font, size, letter-spacing and an optional separator or rule.

Tips

• Headers and page numbers are automatically suppressed on chapter-opening pages, where they'd look cluttered.
• These settings don't appear in the e-book — e-readers add their own progress indicator.
