How do you change the page numbering scheme?

• A. File>Page Setup>Numbering
• B. Pages Panel>Click Page Icon>Numbering and Sections Option
• C. Edit>Preferences>Pages
• D. View>Grids and Guides> Numbering

Answer: (B)

Changing the page numbering scheme in InDesign is done by treating numbering as a feature of document sections. You control it by using the Pages panel, selecting the page or spread where you want a new scheme, and opening Numbering and Section Options. There you can choose the numbering style (Arabic, uppercase or lowercase Roman numerals, letters), decide what number to start from, and apply the numbering to that specific section. This per-section control is what makes it possible to mix front matter (like roman numerals) with main content (arabic numbers) in the same document.

The other paths don’t offer this control. Page Setup changes layout and size settings, not how pages are numbered. Preferences in other menus are global settings and don’t manage per-section numbering. Grids and Guides doesn’t affect page numbering at all.
