- Gee, Frank, why would you delete the end of my message when it states exactly
- what your reply says?
-
- If you are publishing a monthly booklet then it would probably be worth the
- time required to figure out an Arexx program to do automatic page numbering
- for the two-up format.
-
- Another possibility would be to commit yourself to producing each booklet
- at the same number of pages and using the previous issue as a template.
-
- Yet another approach would be to link the page number box of each "page" and
- simply write out the page number sequence with carriage returns on your
- word processor and dump the numbers into the linked boxes as with any other
- text. After a little trial and error you should be able to come up with the
- right size box and font. Next issue, edit the text file.
