Page Numbers
Page numbers, if not in the manuscript itself, down beside the word count.

Dennis FlemingPage numbers would be very helpful. Designations in the book scenes and plot box summaries would be terrific. For example, something like pgs. 26-33 in the headings. It's helpful to me to know how many pages a particular scene takes up. I can judge the overall rhythm and pacing. I use ProWriteAid to tell me how paragraph length alternates and which ones might be too long in comparison to others.

JoanI like to print off pages and edit on paper. Having page numbers in a header makes it easier to find the section I want to edit when I go back to the computer. Also, a go-to for pages, instead of having to scroll through the chapters. Thanks!

Jamie HunterWhen you print a hard copy to line edit and need to add the changes to dabble, it takes FOREVER because there are no page numbers and you basically have to read the entire thing over again to find the line that needs correcting. It’s to the point where I’m considering not using dabble anymore

Jordan Shiveleyi like that something as basic as "page numbers" is under consideration...what is there to consider?

CoralHaving found a piece of text where that I want to insert it earlier instead of where it is now, am finding it very difficult to mark the place I want to put it without a page reference. I will try putting some giant text or something similar for now, so I recognize it when scrolling past and can then insert the second piece

RafiqahPage numbers would be incredibly useful. I love to use Dabble as my primary workspace, but I am required to export to Word to see how many pages a particular scene or chapter takes up. It would be great to have page numbers directly in Dabble as I work on drafts.

SaraShocked that this wasn't included automatically given that the program is designed for novelists. Even more troubling that this request is almost 3 years old and still "Under Consideration". It's a basic feature that is at least an option in every other writing program I've seen. Once I finish my rough draft, dabble is basically useless for the way that I edit without page numbers, which sucks because there's so much about it that I love.

Danielapage numbers PLEASE. I'm completely shocked that this is still "under consideration". Every single writing program has this! I hate having to export to word to get page numbers and do hard copy line edits. This can't be that hard of a fix, y'all! Please add it.
