Time: 15 minutes
Continue from the previous exercise
Steps:
- Choose Window > Pages if the Pages palette is not showing

- Place the cursor in this box and choose Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number
- Repeat this for the other page
- Align the text (the letter ‘A’) in the frames to the left or right if needed.
