Default Help with page numbers


Hi everyone!
So I'm working on a live TV show with like a 70-page script that needs
to be formatted. For the sake of our teleprompter people and just
overall changes things need to be kept in a neat order.

As it is right now.. I have page numbers in the headers (page 1-70)

But as changes come in I know things are going to go all wonky. And we
can't throw the pages off kilter.

Basically what I'm trying to say is I need to figure out a way of
adding sub-pages to already existing pages.

So let's say I add a bunch of dialog to one page, and it spills over
into another page. I can't have the numbers go out of order because of
this one page. So I need to add a sub-page . (for example, 20, 20A,
20B, 21)

Does that make sense?
The page numbers are automatic right now (really don't want to manually
type the page numbers in) so I want to add a new page but call this page
"20A" instead of it being a NEW page 21.

Help?
I know it can be done cause I've seen it done on other shows but I just
don't know how they do it.

I'm afraid there is no way to accomplish what you are asking, at least not
automatically. You could try adding the page numbers manually, but it would
be a time-consuming task.
