Use this object for page numbers.
Page Number (PageNoBox type) is a layout container, found in the Drawable group in the Tool Box view.
In order to provide for virtual pages (multiple logical pages on one physical page) a pageName property can be specified to identify the logical page.
Specific functions are available to allow you to calculate an expression for the page number such as Page N of M, using the property textExpression. If a value is provided for textExpression, the pageName, the pageNoOffset, and pageNoFormat properties are ignored.
If values for either the textExpression property or the text property are not set, a default length is calculated. See Calculating the page number string.
Select the object on the Report Design page to display its properties in the Properties View. You can change the object's default appearance by setting the values of its properties.
These properties are specific to PageNoBox:
pageName, pageNoOffset, pageNoFormat, textAlignment, textExpression
Additional properties are inherited from Word Box.
