Default Pub'03 Page numbers

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:

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
