      When opening template files in Preps, the page number increments depending on the binding style and the number of signatures within the template file. The template page number for each signature is shown as the first number in a formula similar to this: 1 - A1 1, where "A" stands for the product name, the first (red) "1" stands for the section number in the entire job, and the last (blue) number stands the section number within the same press run.
