I have a complex border in my footer and I wanted to add PageNumber, PagesCount and so on into text boxes. But Insert Field commands a greyed out and I can’t insert fields via cut&paste.
Use frames instead. You can align the frame with any graphical object.
You didn’t describe your footer. The simplest way to structure it is with a table. See example below for a “complex” header:
As can be seen from the gray background, most of contents come from fields (document properties but page number or count has the same effect – they are my simple footer).
As a general rule, try to avoid frames whenever you can. Tuning frame anchor, position and wrapping is quite difficult, notably for a newbie.
