- Aside from the fact that manually entering page numbers for a hundred page
- booklet would take less time than it takes to compose all these messages,
- Propage could probably do this.
-
- I suspect that you could write an arexx program to do this sort of thing in
- ProPage but again it would take *a lot* longer to write the program than to
- manually enter the page numbers.
-
- The only issue left after that is doing many projects such as this and in that
- case it would justify the attempt to write an arexx program to achieve this
- result.
