Page number fully written

Hi,

definitely scripting is the way to go here.

One could assemble a long list of words in a text file and the script would replace the automatic page numbers.
That's simple. Or you could work yourself into the word building rules with German numerals. That's the more complex method.

I would search for an algorithm on the web and try to implement it in ExtendScript for InDesign.
Maybe someone already did exactly that? See Gerald Singelmann's blog post here:

As David Blatner once said, 'Most of us would simply reply, “No.”* But I'm not one of them

See Page numbering with words  ... except that it is in English, not in German.

Check whether it is enough to change "One" to "Einz", "Two" to "Zwei" (etc.), or if it needs additional programming to adjust for German counting verbs' word order.
