Hello PromodFdo ,
the fix is quite easy. You don't use the page numbering field as such and you don't use the tabs at all, but you create a text box with the page numbering field in it. You position the box to top/bottom and right/left relative to the page. Like this, the page numbering will always be in the top/bottom right/left corner, always in the same place regardless of the page size, be that an A4, A3, A5 or A6, section by section.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response. Now It makes sense . I was using tab to push the page number in the footing of A4 to the right side .Then the A3 page number is more to left as you can see. After your response i went to a report which i have this issue and in the middle of it i inserted an A4 landscape but it still shows that issue (page number is more to left) and i didn't use tab this time. So is there a way that i could fix this footer problem?
