Yep Dave, just start a ‘new section’ at page 1 in the page layout panel (select page 1 then right click to “Numbering and Section options”) and use 0 as the prefix, click “Include prefix when numbering pages”. Et voilà. You will need to repeat this exercise when you get to page 10 to start a new section at P10 with no prefix.
Hope this helps. L.

On a separate, but related, note: I work with a designer that likes to use a zero on single digit page numbers, so that all of the pages are 2 digits (up to 99, of course). Is there a way to do this with auto page numbering?

Nice technique AM,

I hate to plug my own product, but…

One of the functions of Multi-lingual Tools is “Spread Numbering. It creates the spread numbering on a selectable page range, and is easily undoable…

Hmmmph. The new website design hides away the posting author to near-invisibility, I find, and I’ve also most often “been after” David regarding this INX issue — hence my confusion regarding those two folks . . . with rather differing hair lengths. Hmmmph.

Hey David, it’s not fair of you to pre-empt my asking for an INX file! Aside from that, your posting is, well, “interesting”.

This is kind of like numbering tickets. But I’d still prefer to create a text file with real numbers and place that.

If you make a paragraph style for the numbers and set it to start in a new frame every time you don’t even have to worry about the precision for the text frame.

OTOH, it’s always nice to figure out a new use for a feature.

Anne-Marie,
This numbering is often used when making student/teacher guides. Left panel is the instructors reference and the right panel is the student page. We then print out just the right panels to make the student editions.
