Reply To: Mirrored sequential numbering?

Something to try (It works, but may not be what you need):

1. Create a new document.
2. On the master page, put a text box for the backwards number (could be within the ticket art)
3. Click on the flip horizontal button so the page # box is mirrored.
4. Add pages to the document.
5. Create the numbers in Excel, then save the column as a text file and place the text file into Indesign, one # per page or per ticket. Since the master text frame is flipped horizontally, all the text that is placed will be flipped on each page.
6. To get the #s to be only one per page, you can change all the paragraph returns to Column Breaks. You could run several ticket on a page, or one page per ticket. Should work either way.

I tried the idea of having the page #s be your ticket #s, and this works, but you are limited to 6 digits. There are options for using prefixes and text variables that might help with that, but I think generating the #s in Excel is probably easier.
