I guess you want to see your new Master Page from within Scribus, not in your OS Explorer? It is only mildly hidden. Go to > menu bar > edit > Master Pages... (it is almost at the bottom of the edit menu (Windows version)) One default master page will open when you click on that menu entry. You should also see a tiny floating window with all your master pages listed, that is where hopefully you find your own PMMWNHA listed. Just select it and the master page in your main window will change. If you do not see your own master page, you could try clicking on the third icon in the list-windowlet: It allows you to import master pages from other Scribus documents; maybe that is what you were asking about. Once you are done with your page-numbers-magic, just leave the master page area, for example by closing the floating list window. There is no option for saving, feels creepy but do not worry. Gregory has already described how you create a text frame and insert the place-holder for page numbers. Just think that a master page is almost like any other page, where you can work "normally". If you make new master pages, you might still need to assign it to the pages of your document: Leave the master pages area and go to one page that should apply your (new) master page. Right click somewhere on your page and select "Apply Master Page...". This will bring up a nifty little window with good options, not least to apply your master piece [sic] to the entire document... hth Martin -- ZASKE Martin responsable G?G?
