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!) |

Brian - Yeah, I found that "workaround"... (heavy emphasis on the "work"...) I think it'd be easier to 'hack' the starting page number in the .pub file. (Which I don't want to do.) Seems to me that the only "resonable" way to this would take a new dialog box. [Format Page Numbers] Or else a patch to remove the 1000 limit. Maybe my only recourse is to reinstall Pub'98... Thanks, Dan |
