      I want to use text like One, Two, … Eleven… Twenty, Twenty-one.. instead 1, 2, … 11… 20, 21.. on page numbers. Can be a script, plugin automatic data.

      Please!

      I think this is a great idea! I don’t know if you need them to be true page numbers, but it was easy to set one-to-one hundred on each page:

      https://www.dropbox.com/s/x5oub64ec2zl1gx/one-to-one-hundred.idml?dl=0

      (found a list online, created master page and a paragraph style using Keep Options->Start Paragraph on next page, copy/paste into page 1 text frame, and voilà 100 pages are made.)

      I give up! Great solution, but I can’t reproduce this.. how you keep the position for the master-page frame on others pages and edit it? Here a file that I’m trying to do:

      https://www.dropbox.com/s/uep5hdd14j222ph/teste%20numeracao.indd?dl=0

      The numbers are on my language and the list are on first page to copy.. what I do wrong? Everything??? I think I need a tutorial… =P

      Sorry for the poor english.

      Thank you!

      I think you were very close.

      Here’s what I did with your file.

      1. Select Master Page text frame (Edit->Select All with Type Tool, Edit->Cut)
      2. File->Document Setup->1 page (deletes the other 99)
      3. Pages->Insert 1 page from Master
      4. With Selection Tool, click on red + on page 1 text box
      5. On Page 2, Shift and Click over text box. (Shift tells your text to flow to other pages)

      That should add the rest of your page numbers.

      And it’s working! Nice, my mistake was not click over the text box on second page to stay in same master-page position.

      Thank you so much, others peoples need to see your solution!

      Hugs.

      “Page numbering with words
      Is it possible set up automated page numbering where the numbers are actually formatted as words instead of numbers?

      Eg. ‘Four’ instead of ‘4’”

      (I distinctly remember having a great time writing that script! Do mind the corrections later on in the discussion.)

      Jong.. I’m really javascript noob.. How I can put a alert (confirm) box on the end of the process, like “Done” or “Finish”?
