| 1. | Choose Configuration... from the 'Options' menu. |
| 3. | In the 'Page numbers' panel: |
| o | Type in the page number prefix, if required, in the Template box. If you type * then EscapeE will use the filename stem as the prefix. Leave it blank for no prefix. |
| o | Set the Number of digits for the page numbers. This will add a series of " to the Template. |
The template text can be edited. To produce a standard Bates Number format, set the template to ABC where the ABC is the arbitrary prefix, followed by the file stem and a 4-digit page number: ABC*"""" (see Notes below).
| 4. | Set the Horizontal and Vertical position for the page numbers: see Notes below. |
| 5. | Set the Point size and Font Family for the page number text. |
| 6. | If Bates page numbering is required |
| o | set the Number for next page and whether to Remember number for next time to ensure the pages of successive documents are consecutive. |
| o | Click Save number now to reset the stored page number to the value in the box next to it. Note that otherwise the last-used page number is only saved if greater than the highest previously used. |
| 7. | Click the Save button to retain these settings after you close the program. Alternatively, click OK to use them for the current session.

Notes:
If the number of digits exceeds the number of double-quote characters the page number field is extended: the numbers are never truncated.
The vertical position can be set by reference to either the top or bottom of the physical page and the horizontal position relative to the left or right edge. This copes with page numbers that need to be near the right or the bottom of different sizes of paper.
If the font, font point size, horizontal position or vertical position boxes are left blank, page numbering is suppressed.
To avoid truncation the distance from the bottom is measured to the bottom of the nominal character cell, including the descenders.
If using a Windows® printer driver there is an unprintable region of about 0.3" at the edge of the page: any text which extended even partly in this region is omitted by the driver.
The offsets are defined in whatever units you have chosen for viewing the mouse coordinates. To change these click on the main 'View' menu then on 'Mouse Coordinates'.
