Reply To: Numbering pages – nonstandard

> but if they add in a new section later the old ones dont update

Put each section in a separate document, then add all documents to an InDesign book. Use the Chapter variable for the section numbers.

But the challenge is the first page number: InDesign can’t start numbering at 0, it has to be at least 1. You could start numbering at 1 and do the page number in a character style so that a script can later find it and replace the auto page number with a static value (minus 1). Though that’s a problem if you use cross-references.
