      Go to the master page and insert (type menu) a special char (marker – current page number. Precede this A (if you use master A, it’ll show a A on the master page) by six 0. If you want one zero less from “10” onward, create a second master B and enter only 5 zero’s (plus the special char). Apply the B-master to the pages 10 till 99. Create a third master C with 4 zero’s for page 100 and apply it to the last page.

      Note that you don’t have to create separate masters for different counts of zeroes. Type ‘0000’ before your page number code, and set the Page Numbering to include three zeros in the Page Numbering -> Style dropdown list.

      Thanks jongware for your help to, I managed to do it and it was rather easy lol. My question now would be what is the best way to create the same page design 100 times but also having the number page included to?
