I'm wanting to automatically number coupons in a book that we produce on a regular basis. Each coupon is numbered as the page number plus 9000. ie page 1 would be coupon 9001, page 64 would be 9064, page 110 would be 9110, etc. The page number would never exceed 3 digits.

What I need to do is have a script pick up the auto-numbered page number and then create a new text box with the coupon number in it, on the same page.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could achieve this?

Thanks
Steve
