Default Pub'03 Page numbers

Hi Dan Green ),
in the newsgroups
you posted:

|| I have a publication (an invoice) which I created in
|| Pub'98. Each invoice needs to have a unique number, so I
|| set the first page number to the first invoice number, add
|| 50 pages, then print them. I now have Pub'03 and would
|| like to print some more invoices but cannot figure out how
|| to do it. Nothing useful comes up under help. The closest
|| I can come seems to be inserting a section, but that will
|| only allow page numbers between 1-1000 and they need to be
|| in the 13000-15000 range. Any ideas?
||
|| Thanks,
|| Dan
||
|| PS: If I open the Pub'98 doc in Pub'03 and add 50 pages,
|| all of the numbers come out right - say 13435 to 13486.
|| Obvoiusly Pub'03 doesn't care what the page numbers are.
|| If I delete page 13435, it just makes page 13436 into page
|| 13435. (Of course, page 13486 is then gone!)

Dan, this is a good question. I am researching this. But as an FYI, a
workaround that you can use is by using the consecutive numbering system
with mailmerge. Check out the following link:
