Unfortunately, InDesign isn’t exactly speedy at updating these numbers when you add a bunch of pages. Repeat this (select pages and duplicate) until you have enough pages. Select the original page and the duplicate and then copy those.Select that one page and duplicate it in the Pages panel, or by choosing Layout > Pages > Duplicate Spread.
On the document page, override the items by Command/Ctrl-Shift-dragging over them (or clicking on them).Go ahead and put the items on a master page.So what if you need 20 pages of tickets? 100? 1000? Doing that without a master page is annoying, but Anne-Marie suggested to me a great workaround:

That is, you have to Command/Ctrl-Shift-click on them to make them “kick in” and update to the correct number. That would make sense, but there’s a catch: Autonumbered paragraphs on a master page don’t update until you override them. You may be tempted to place this number on a master page. Note that in the following image, the frames are not threaded together: Every time you make a new frame, InDesign increments the number automatically. To make more numbers, just duplicate this frame. Click OK and you should see the number appear in the text frame. You might want to adjust the other settings to match this: Now Option/Alt-click on the Autonumbering button in the Control panel (or choose Bullets and Numbering from the Control panel flyout menu) and choose the list you created in the Lists pop-up menu. You need at least one space to make the autonumbering kick in. You can name it anything you want, but make sure the Continued Numbers across Stories is enabled:Īfter you click OK and close the Define Lists dialog box, create a text frame and type any character (such as a space). (CS2 also has an paragraph numbering feature, but it’s not nearly as powerful.)įirst, create a numbering “list” by choosing Type > Bulleted & Numbered Lists > Define Lists. Thanks, Mordy, for pointing out this site!)Ī significantly more elegant way to handle numbering in InDesign is to use the autonumbering feature in CS3. More after the jump!
