In or On Page5

We say things are IN the whole newspaper but ON a certain page.

Thanks, Nona. I've just googled to see "on page 5" to "in page 5" as about 1,700,000 to 30,000. This solidly goes to support your post. Thanks, again.

00Why is this case different than the "on page" example. Does appendix imply its own document02br

0Perhaps. In any case, an appendix is not a page, it is a section: 01i01b00in02b00 the table of contents; 01b00in02b00 the preface; 01b00in02b00 Chapter 13;01b00 in02b00 the appendix, 01b00in02b00 the index02i00, etc.0-
