How do I make Master Pages w numbered pages?

I realized I have an old version but  it used to work. And I had figured out how to make 100 page books with facing pages.

The newer versions refer back to a page panel and the only ones I can find are under layout in the menu line and Pages (under Windows). That only connects to a menu that is labeled animation which quickly implodes (quits.)

It works the  same way it used to:

• Go to the Master page. You can do this in the Pages panel (Window menu > Pages) or in the Status bar popup.
• Draw a text frame.
• With the Type tool, click an insertion point and go to the Type menu > Insert Special Characters > Markers > Current Page Number

What is happening instead?

THIS DOESN'T WORK ON MY MACBOOK AIR WITH INDESIGN C6.5

[Steve Werner]

InDesign doesn't have an InDesign C6.5 version. Please tell us exactly what verson and what operating system.

Jane's method has worked in all versions as long as I can remember. What is happening?

I can't create master pages. I go to the layout menu, then pages and there is not choose to make a master page. So I can't follow the directions offered.

You create Master Pages on the Pages panel

menu: New Master.
