bRestart compared to nStartPage. When printing publications in the booklist, the bRestart parameter overrides nStartPage.

Blank pages added automatically. If you specify a larger number of pages with the nNumPages parameter than the publication currently contains, blank pages will be added to the end of the publication.

Caution: Pages removed automatically. If you specify fewer pages than the publication currently contains, pages will be removed from the end of the publication.

Layout view only. Use the PPageNumbers command only in layout view.

Selected objects deselected. The PPageNumbers command deselects any selected objects. It does not, however, deselect highlighted text (text selected with the text tool or PTextSelect command).

Example. The following example starts the page numbers with page 1, leaves the existing number of pages unchanged, restarts page numbering, specifies arabic style, and includes a prefix of Ip; before each page number.

PPageNumbers(1, -2, true, kNumArabic, "I-");
