[scribus] Problem with page numbers

[John Ghormley KJ4UFG]

Matti,
I just ran into the exact same difficulty with the same version.  My guess
is you are using Ubuntu (me: Ubuntu 10.04) and installed using Ubuntu's
installer.  I was told there were much more up to date versions available,
but didn't want to upgrade in the middle of my first composition, a 60 page
magazine.

Anyway, I found my answer to by making two different master pages, one for
pages 1 - 9 and another for pages 10 - 99.  Notice that in our version, one
must put the appropriate number of page number marks (#) on the master
pages.  Therefore, single digit master pages need one page number marks
while two digit master pages need two page number marks.

As to how you may have locked yourself out, I cannot say being a newbie,
myself.  However, I found several problems solved by saving the file and
closing it and then re-opening the same file.  A few other times, I actually
rebooted Ubuntu but the problem may have been solved simply by closing and
re-opening the file.

Good luck with your project.

John
