A text box needs to have four digits. It starts with "9", the rest of the number will consist of an auto page number. This page number will exist in a seperate text box on the opposite side of the page and is populated by InDesign using Auto Page Number. The thought in mind is to have the script pick up the Auto Page Number and populate the 4 figure number from the right side backwards. You may not think this a good idea and could maybe tap in to a different way of doing it. Either way, the text box containing the Auto Page Number will be accurate no matter how the document is paginated. That's why I'm thinking it would be best to use it as a concrete reference. Example: Page number 10 would = 9010. Page number 100 would = 9100. The number will never exceed 4 digits in total. Any ideas out there? Thanks
