Reply To: Variable colour which changes from page to page?

It is hard to know what is behind your exploration but I guess this what you did is almost the whole thing. If you could automatically apply a progression of variable colors to something in a page (a background rectangle?!) it could be applied to any other object.

Naturally, in this approach, the automatic page numbers would need to be detached from the master pages so they would be just another object like your background.

I am not sure I understood your question “How do you do with a colorized para between 2 pages!?”. Did you mean “paragraph” when you wrote “para”? This would not be the case, at least in my case, this is specifically intended for the automatic page numbers, not for the overall text/paragraphs, so there would never be anything “between 2 pages”.

I saw David’s post about you being a scripter for hire and I wish this project had any budget for it but editorial design usually has a limited budget and, when the book is about culture, that just gets an even tighter budget.
