# Brief/Court Book Pagination

When reviewing documents in court, you may need to refer to both the individual document page number and the corresponding page number in the brief or court book at the same time. Dual page numbering allows you to see both on screen simultaneously.

This is particularly useful when reviewing a document with a witness (eg an Affidavit or Expert Report) while also directing the Judge to the correct page of the brief or court book.

## Enabling dual page numbering

1. Open any document within your matter
2. Select the **Paginate Using Brief/Court Book** option
3. Select the brief or court book you want the pagination to align with

You will now see two page numbers on each page — the document page number and the brief or court book page number.

Any other documents you open that are contained in the same brief or court book will also show this dual page numbering automatically.

**Note:**This setting is local to you. Unless other members of your matter also turn on this option, they will see the standard pagination only.
