The shortcut on a Mac operating systems (OS) is to press “Command,” “Shift,” “Option” and the letter “N” at the same time. You should use this if you will be using this command a lot. The short cut on Windows OS is to press “Control,” “Shift,” “Alt” and the letter “N” at the same time. Your first number will appear as an “A” with a number sign next to it because it is the master page. The other page numbers will appear as numbers.
