Hi all,


When setting up page numbering in Edit > Master Pages, the Scribus 
documentation 
(http://documentation.scribus.net/index.php/Page_Numbering) suggests 
using two hash characters for double-digit page numbers, and three 
hashes for triple-digit page numbers. This would imply using different 
master pages, depending on the page number in the project, which could 
get complicated if you moved pages around the document. In fact, you can 
use three hashes on all master pages, and Scribus will ignore the 
redundant digits on pages 1 to 99.
Note that typing a ordinary hash character into the box on the master 
page does not work; you need to use Insert > Character > Page Number, or 
the appropriate keyboard shortcut for your installation.

I can add this tip to the Scribus wiki if people think it's useful.

Cheers!

Daniel
