How can you add the page number to the page?

[okcomputer]

@TKTnetwork Actually, you don't add page numbers to the page. Celtx paginates your document automatically.

To see your script with page numbers, click the "TypeSet/PDF" tab along the bottom of your script (right next to "Script")!

@UltimateSavage Quickest way:

INT. BUILDING - DAY

There are bodies strewn about the floor. JACK walks cautiously down the hallway. Each step brings back painful memories of his combat duty in Iraq.

Jack looks down at a bloodied body directly beneath his feet. We see the scene through his eyes.

He has a FLASHBACK to Iraq. The scene is nearly identical.

As Jack makes his way down the hall, each view is repeated as a flashback through Jack's eyes.

...

or something along those lines.
