When I run the world

Page Numbers

Again, I know this seems like a small thing, but when you're pulling together a bunch of material that has forewards, appendices, and other subsections, it becomes clear that we need rules about page numbers, particularly in electronic documents.

It doesn't have to be hard. Every page is numbered from the very first page. Every page is numbered as 1 of 52, 2 of 52, etc. This way when the printer or copier jams halfway through you know where to restart without trying to find that place in the pdf and then get the electronic page count.

No i or ii. No restarting the numbering in the same document. I don't even care where you put it (as long as it's somewhere along the bottom of the page or the top right corner and it has to be the same on every page.)

These little timesavers will add up - you'll see.
