= SUMMARY =

If you create a section style to include page number formatting, the style will always describe the distance from the edge as the distance indicated in the From Left Edge text box in the Page Numbers dialog box. The From Left Edge distance (7.25 inches by default) will not change to reflect the alignment indicated in the Page Numbers dialog box (Left Margin, Center, or Right Margin).

However, the section style will be correctly formatted if it is applied to a document. The lack of update in the From Left Edge page number position in the style definition is a display problem with the style definition and should not affect the formatting of the document.

Example
Section 1 Page break. Page length 11“; width 8.5”. Page # format Arabic at 0.5&quot; from top, 7.25&quot; from left.

The From Left Edge value listed above (7.25“) will not update to reflect a change in alignment indicated in the Page Numbers dialog box. If the alignment is set to”Center,&quot; the style will still read “7.25 from left.” To change the page number alignment, from the Format menu, select Section, then select Page Numbers.
