    The proper way to use this feature has been explained. It works like this:

    The extra text frame (containing the Previous/Next Page Number) need not be linked to the text frame to which it refers. It just has to touch that text frame.

    The way this feature works is that you have a text frame that contains some text on a certain page. That text continues on a different page that is random. So, for example, in a magazine, you have an article that starts on page 11, and then it continues on page 80. In that case, you will create a separate text frame on page 11, make it touch the text frame that contains the article and put "Continued on Page .

    Could Adobe make this feature anymore complicated?

    Why when I insert the character "Next Page Number" or "Previous Page Number" on a template does it not just work!

    If I want to use this feature I have to add it to the document page? This seems to be an inefficient solution as I have to add this to each page and I can't use the template.

    Years ago in Quark the folio could be written with variables <#folio + 1>

    It seems like its been overly complicated for an outlier case and there's some "cluggey" workaround for the majority of use cases.
