Reply To: How to mask a numeral

It's easy-to-the-extreme — that is, if you know the trick!

Draw your frame o' numbers the usual way. Draw an empty container rectangle. Cut number frame. Select empty rectangle. Choose “Paste into”. Now you can move the frame with the text around inside the container rectangle!

Of course you don't need to paste into a rectangle, it can be any other shape. Try this: convert some text to outlines, then make a large frame with the Lorum Ipsem placeholder text in a really small size, and paste that inside your outlined-text-frame.
