Reflected (Backwards) Page Numbers

[Guest]

I am very new to InDesign, so this is probably a stupid question. But, I can't figure out why the page numbers on the right-hand side of my booklet are written backwards, as if they were reflected in a mirror. I'm using InDesign CS5. None of the other text is backwards, but when I add the page number to the Master, this reversal occurs automatically.

This is my very first InDesign project, so I'm guessing there's a very simple explanation that I just haven't been able to find yet! If anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it a lot.

The page numbers have been flipped. You can flip them back (they are probably located on the master page) by using the Flip Horizontal button on the Control panel. See below:

Sounds like you flipped the frame. Easiest thing is to just delete it and redraw it.
