Reply To: Absolute Page Numbers in slug area

Thanks Kai,

Yes, I am aware of this method.

In this case the problem is: this file is not created by me. I have to handle it for pre-press and it contains about 50 master pages. The “designer” apparently does not know the concept of text variables and running headers, so one master each for every new chapter in his book!!! So I did exactly as you described but had to load the text in cursor and create frames on each page.

Was just wondering if there was anything better than this.
