page numbering

[Ridder, Fred]

Here's one direct (i.e. brute force) approach:

If page 131 is in the middle of a chapter, split the chapter into two
files, one that ends with page 131 and one that starts with page
132. Set the pagination for the first half to "Delete empty pages"
and set the pagination for the second half to start on "Next
available" (which option is only available from the book window)
or "Left" if you're working with duplex pages. Change the numbering 
properties of the second half from "Continue from previous file" to 
start with 132. If page 131 is already the last page in a chapter 
you skip the step if splitting the chapter.

Then just make the new content a separate file that you'll include 
in the book between the two halves. Modify this file's master page(s)
to use a two-part page number, one half of which will be the regular 
page number system variable that you'll set to use numeric format
beginning with "a" or "A", and the other half of which is the text 
string "131" (or "131-" if you prefer).  You can either enter that text
directly on the master page, or use the $volnum system variable 
if you're not already using it.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Subject: page numbering

Hi all,

Is there a way to override the page numbering for a single page in a
document in Frame 7.0? I'm working on a revision to a manual. In this
revision, I need to add new information to a chapter that is 176 pages
long.
The new information needs to go after page 31, which means that not only
would this page be included in the revision, but all the subsequent
pages
would have to be added, as well, because even thought the information is
the
same, the page numbers all shifted by one. I'd rather not print 146
pages
when I only need to make one page of actual content change. So, is there
a
way to add a page and call it 31-a, without causing all the other page
numbers to change? I tried to search the archives on the FrameUsers
website,
but it appears the site is temporarily down.

Thanks,
dave.
