Fully written page numbers as running headers

Posted: 08-21-2008, 03:25 PM
Hello,

I am working on a foreign language teaching book and I have to insert fully-worded numbers (one, two, ... fourty-four, fourty-five, etc) next to each corresponding page number (1, 2, ... 44, 45, etc).
I'm looking for a way to automate this, maybe with a script or data merge from an outside file containing all needed text entries?
Thank you!

I think this was asked once before. If I remember right, the suggested solution was creating a font that had the words for the numbers, but that would be hard when you got above nine. A data merge might work, or you could use sections and create a new section for each page and type in the words for each given section marker. Of course, if you have the list of the numbers written out, you could just put a little linked text box on the master pages where you want the text to appear on the page and then flow the text through all those little boxes on the actual pages.

Data merge would probably be the most efficient way to do this. You could create one column with the numbers and a second column with the page number text. I think this would work better than using auto page numbering and data merge for the page text numbers. If you delete a page the # and text numbers would still be together as a unit.
